- Abstract
- Recognition, by libraries, of the need for improved efficiency and reliability in subject authority control in catalogues led to a study of the feasibility of automatically creating a subject heading validation file by scanning the OLUC. The premises were: that although the file would not be axhaustive, it would contain the majority of frequently used headings; and that the predicted level of accurary in the file would be high. A sample file of Library of Congress assigned subject headings, from the OCLC Subject Headings Corrections database was analyzed. Results showed that: the frequency of use varies inversely with the number of headings at a given rrate of use; a small number of headings with high frequencies of use accounts for the majority of total use, while a large proportion shows very low frequency of use; topical headings account for 2/3 of assigned headings; and error and obsolescence rates are both low and are in inverse relationship to the frequency of heading use. Concludes that an automatically generated subject heading validation file is feasible and could serve various purposes, including: verification of subject heading strings constructed by cataloguers; updating of subject headings in catalogue maintenance; and validation of subject headings during retrospective catalogue conversion

- Abstract
- Two measures are examined that characterize the dispersion of a classification system when mapped to a second classification. One, a distance measure, captures the physical spread of a class when represented in the secon system; the second, from rank-frequency-analysis, characterizes the scatter of tokens over a set of types. The measures are tested by applying them to the library science portions of the LCC and the DDC using a database drawn from MARC records. Class mappings are presented that exemplify four extreme points of the two measures considered together: mappings where both measures score high, mappings where both score low, and mappings where one measure is high and the other is low. The conclusion is that the measures characterize two different properties of dispersion

Reports the design of a Web based tool, Spectrum, to enable individuals without specialized knowledge of library cataloguing or markup to create records for describing and accessing networked electronic resources of various types. System users may create descriptions of electronic resources and view them as formatted USMARC bibliographic records; TEI headers and URCs. Because continued volatitlity in the definition of data element standards is anticipated, the Spectrum system is designed to allow maximum flexibility in the design of the input formats

- 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
- 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
- Over the past 5 years, librarians, humanities computing researchers and computer scientists have been working to establish standards for encoding and accessing local and networked electronic information resources, and these are now being put into practice by their corresponding user communities. The OCLC Cataloging Internet Resources project is investigating the relationship between 2 of these: the MARC bibliographic format and the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) header, developed by humanities computing researchers. Specifically, the project has designed a WWW based prototype, called Spectrum, that enables those without specialized knowledge of library cataloguing or markup to create records for describing and accessing Internet resources of various types. The system enables the generation of MARC records from TEI headers

- 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
- The paper describes a project to add value to controlled vocabularies by making inter-vocabulary associations. A methodology for mapping terms from one vocabulary to another is presented in the form of a case study applying the approach to the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) Thesaurus and the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). Our approach to mapping involves encoding vocabularies according to Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) standards, machine matching of vocabulary terms, and categorizing candidate mappings by likelihood of valid mapping. Mapping data is then stored as machine links. Vocabularies with associations to other schemes will be a key component of Web-based terminology services. The paper briefly describes how the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) is used to provide access to a vocabulary with mappings.

- This paper reports on an investigation to use Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST) as a surrogate for tags in WorldCat, a global catalog of bibliographic records and location information for books, videos, music, and other types of materials found in libraries. 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.
