Hoyle, W. G. – Information Processing and Management, 1976
When documentary material is indexed by a mechanized classification system, and the results judged by trained professionals, the number of documents in disagreement, after suitable adjustment, defines the error rate of the system. In a test case disagreement was 22 percent and, of this 22 percent, the computer correctly identified two-thirds of…

Koymen, Kemal – Information Processing and Management, 1975
Reports research undertaken to conceptualize, design, and implement a system for automatic indexing, classification and repositing of "text items," which may be any aggregate of information in English Language on a computer-readable media, in a standard format. (Author)

Kar, Gautam; White, Lee J. – Information Processing and Management, 1978
Investigates the feasibility of using a distance measure for automatic sequential document classification. This property of the distance measure is used to design a sequential classification algorithm which classifies key words and analyzes them separately in order to assign primary and secondary classes to a document. (VT)

Aboud, M.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Presents an information systems navigation approach using a combination of functionalities encountered in classification processes, Hypertext systems, and information retrieval systems. The first version of the SYRIUS system is described, with emphasis on the user's graphic interface which integrates these functionalities. (26 references) (EA)

Devadason, F. J. – Information Processing and Management, 1985
Describes the construction (input preparation, computer processing, and presentation) of Classaurus, a vocabulary control tool used for indexing according to the Postulate-based Permuted Subject Indexing (POPSI) language. The efficiency of an online classaurus with facilities for direct accessing and updating is discussed. (MBR)

Bruandet, Marie-France – Information Processing and Management, 1989
Outlines an approach to the automatic construction of a knowledge base resulting in a system that is able in each phase of its construction to acquire domain knowledge from all new information that it is building, particularly index terms. Topics covered include production rules, the use of semantic networks, and user interfaces. (32 references)…

Hood, William; Wilson, Concepcion S. – Information Processing and Management, 1994
Summarizes the findings of a recent study on the indexing practices used in the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) database. Descriptors, or indexing terms, from the thesaurus are analyzed; searching implications are discussed; and the relationship between the classification code and the descriptors is examined. (Contains 21…

Willett, Peter – Information Processing and Management, 1981
Describes a fast algorithm for comparing the lists of terms representing documents in automatic classification experiments. Complexity and running time for the algorithm are compared to other procedures, and a short algol-like routine is presented in the appendix. Eight references are included. (Author/BK)

Brittain, Michael – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Discusses the inclusion of expert systems in library and information science (LIS) education in such areas as library management, classification and indexing, and information retrieval. Emphasis is placed on involvement in developing areas such as programing and knowledge acquisition to create information professionals able to use the new…
