Abstract

The knowledge structures that form traditional library classification schemes hold great potential for improving resource description and discovery on the Internet and for organizing electronic document collections. The advantages of assigning subject tokens (classes) to documents from a scheme like the DDC system are well documented

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an exploratory study to determine literary warrant for topics in electronic resources. The classification numbers in Abridged Edition 14 were used as a starting point. Using the principles of abridgment and expansion in Dewey, a version of the DDC is defined that accommodates the topics found an three diverse Web sites that use Dewey: BUBL, Canadian Information By Subject, and KidsClick! The resulting classes are used to create a database for automated classification of Web resources.

Abstract

This article describes FAST, the Faceted Application of Subject Terminology, a project at OCLC to make Library of Congress Subject Headings easier to use in Dublin Core metadata by breaking out facets of space, time, and form. Work on FAST can be watched at its web site, http://www.miskatonic.org/library/, which has recent presentations and reports. It is interesting to see facets and Dublin Core combined, though both LCSH and FAST subject headings are beyond what most people making a small faceted classification would want or need.

Abstract

To determine the potential benefits of providing classified displays of search results, we analyzed the classification features of the OCLC NetFirst database using criteria developed by the Subject Analysis Committee (SAC) subcommittee an Metadata and Classification. We also studied NetFirst search logs to better understand how the classification-based searching and limiting functions implemented in the system are being used. Our findings suggest that to increase the use of classification-based features in systems for general users, classificatory functions must be well integrated with the basic search and display functions.

Abstract

The Library of Congress Subject Headings schema (LCSH) is by far the most commonly used and widely accepted subject vocabulary for general application. It is the de facto universal controlled vocabulary and has been a model for developing subject heading systems by many countries. However, LCSH's complex syntax and rules for constructing headings restrict its application by requiring highly skilled personnel and limit the effectiveness of automated authority control. Recent trends, driven to a large extent by the rapid growth of the Web, are forcing changes in bibliographic control systems to make them easier to use, understand, and apply, and subject headings are no exception. The purpose of adapting the LCSH with a simplified syntax to create FAST is to retain the very rich vocabulary of LCSH while making the schema easier to understand, control, apply, and use. The schema maintains upward compatibility with LCSH, and any valid set of LC subject headings can be converted to FAST headings.

Abstract

This paper describes how the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) is being prepared for use as an Internet subject guide. These preparations are being carried out in three phases 1) adding supplemental terminology to the DDC to better lead Internet users to relevant DDC categories, 2) revising the Dewey captions for currency and expressiveness, and 3) prototyping a Web-accessible Dewey Subject Guide that incorporates the outcomes from the earlier phases. Phases 1 and 2 are addressed in detail in this paper

FAST is a controlled vocabulary based on the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). FAST is applied to a copy of WorldCat to explore the potential of generating tag-like information for bibliographic records. The paper provides sample visualizations of FAST headings inspired by social tagging applications. FAST Headings as Tags for WorldCat - ResearchGate.

Abstract

OCLC's NetFirst Internet database includes DDC numbers and LoC subject headings to facilitate access to resources. 3 OCLC research projects are helping explore the potential of DDC as a knowledge-structuring tool for large collections of electronic documents. The Scorpion system explores indexing and cataloguing of electronic resources, with emphasis on building tools for automatic subject recognition using schemes like the DDC. Dewey ETC Trees and Wordsmith are concerned with expanding the Deqey knowledge based and enhancing the vocabulary and terminology of the DDC

Abstract

Recent advances in automating library classification data are causing the makers and maintainers of DDC and LCC to seek enhancements to these schemes that will facilitate computer-assisted classifying and extend the usefulbess of library classification to electronic collections. To explore the kinds of improvements that are needed to ensure that classification remains a viable subject retrieval tool, DDC numbers applied to over 40.000 records for Internet-accessible resources were analyzed. This analysis is used as a springboard for recommendations for improvements to DDC and LCC

Abstract

Emerging standards in knowledge representation and organization are preparing the way for distributed vocabulary support in Internet search services. NetLab researchers are exploring several innovative solutions for searching and browsing in the subject-based Internet gateway, Electronic Engineering Library, Sweden (EELS). The implementation of the EELS service is described, specifically, the generation of the robot-gathered database 'All' engineering and the automated application of the Ei thesaurus and classification scheme. NetLab and OCLC researchers are collaborating to investigate advanced solutions to automated classification in the DESIRE II context. A plan for furthering the development of distributed vocabulary support in Internet search services is offered.

Abstract

Under the auspices of the Desire II project, researchers at NetLab and OCLC are providing searching and browsing of a test collection of engineering documents on the Web. The goal of the project is to explore simple methods of automatic classification to provide subject browsing of a robot-generated engineering index. At NetLab the documents are automatically classified and organized using an engineering-specific scheme, the Engineering Index (Ei) Thesaurus and Classification; at OCLC the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a general knowledge organization scheme, is being used

Abstract

We describe a new information technology for knowledge organization: the development of a Web-accessible "taxonomy" server based on the top levels of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system. The server offers a publicly accessible automatic metadata creation tool that returns metadata encoded in XML. This paper discusses the role of the DDC in the project. Included in the metadata is automatic subject assignment based on the DDC and represented in XML. The project also provides a public browsing interface that uses the DDC as its underlying structure the DDC

Abstract

Form subdivisions have always been an important part of the Library of Congress Subject Headings. However, when the MARC format was developed, no separate subfield code to identify form subdivisions was defined. Form and topical subdivisions were both included within a general subdivision category. In 1995, the USMARC Advisory Group approved a proposal defining subfield v for form subdivisions, and in 1999 the Library of Congress (LC) began identifying form subdivisions with the new code. However, there are millions of older bibliographic records lacking the explicit form subdivision coding. Identifying form subdivisions retrospectively is not a simple task. An algorithmic method was developed to identify form subdivisions coded as general subdivisions. The algorithm was used to identify 2,563 unique form subdivisions or combinations of form subdivisions in OCLC's WorldCat. The algorithm proved to be highly accurate with an error rate estimated to be less than 0.1%. The observed usage of the form subdivisions was highly skewed with the 100 most used form subdivisions or combinations of subdivisions accounting for 90% of the assignments.

Abstract

An analysis of a sample of 9.442 headings assigned by the LoC to bibliographic records disclosed 2 types of invalid headings: those that were erroneous and those that were obsolete. Each type revealed recurring patterns. Errors and obsolete elements occuring in assigned heading involve MARC coding, terminology in main headings and subdivisions, application of subdivisions, and in mechanical elements such as punctuation and capitalization. Different headings (e.g. personal name, corporate name, topical, etc.) display different patterns as well as predominance of errors and obsoleteness. Although the overall error rate is low, an awareness and understanding of patterns of errors and obsolescnce in subject heading strings should contribute to improvement in subject heading assignment and subject authority control
