    Abstract
    A document classifier places documents together in a linear arrangement for browsing or high-speed access by human or computerised information retrieval systems. Requirements for document classification and browsing systems are developed from similarity measures, distance measures, and the notion of subject aboutness. A requirement that documents be arranged in decreasing order of similarity as the distance from a given document increases can often not be met. Based on these requirements, information-theoretic considerations, and the Gray code, a classification system is proposed that can classifiy documents without human intervention. A measure of classifier performance is developed, and used to evaluate experimental results comparing the distance between subject headings assigned to documents given classifications from the proposed system and the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system

    Abstract
    Answers to questions concerning individual library decisions to adopt classification systems are important in understanding the efffectiveness of libraries but are difficult to provide. Measures of classification system performance are discussed, as are different methodologies that may be used to seek answers, ranging from formal or philosophical models to quantitative experimental techniques and qualitative methods

    Abstract
    Patrons often browse through books organized by a library classification system, looking for books to use and possibly circulate. This research is an examination of the clustering of similar books provided by a classification system and ways in which the books that patrons circulate are clustered. Measures of classification system performance are suggested and used to evaluate two test collections. Regression formulas are derived describing the relationships among the number of areas in which books were found (the number of stops a patron makes when browsing), the distances across a cluster, and the average number of books a patron circulates. Patrons were found usually to make more stops than there were books found at their average stop. Consequences for full-text document systems and online catalogs are suggested

    Abstract
    For classification to advance to the point where optimal systems may be developed for manual or automated use, it will be necessary for a science of document or library classification to be developed. Seven questions are posed which the author feels must be answered before such optimal systems can be developed. Suggestions are made as to the forms that answers to these questions might take

    Abstract
    Knowledge of window style, content, location, and grammatical structure may be used to classify documents as originating within a particular discipline or may be used to place a document on a theory vs. practice spectrum. Examines characteristics of phrases and text windows, including their number, location in documents, and grammatical construction, in addition to studying variations in these window characteristics across disciplines. Examines some of the linguistic regularities for individual disciplines, and suggests families of regularities that may provide helpful for the automatic classification of documents, as well as for information retrieval and filtering applications

    Abstract
    Relevance and economic feedback may be used to produce an ordering of documents that supports browsing in hypermedia and digital libraries. Document classification based on the Gray code provides paths through the entire collection, each path traversing each node in the set of documents exactly once. Examines systems organizing document based on weighted and unweighted Gray codes. Relevance feedback is used to conceptually organize the collection for an individual to browse, based on that individual's interests and information needs, as reflected by their relevance judgements and user supplied economic preferences. Applies Bayesian learning theory to estimating the characteristics of documents of interest to the user and supplying an analytic model of browsing performance, based on minimising the Expected Browsing Distance. Economic feedback may be used to change the ordering of documents to benefit the user. Using these techniques, a hypermedia or digital library may order any and all available documents, not just those examined, based on the information provided by the searcher or people with similar interests
