Frické, Martin H. – Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 2013
Introduction: Faceted classification appears to be of utmost importance. Ersatz facets, resource faceting and tag faceting: The distinctions are drawn between facets and ersatz facets, and between faceted resources and faceted tags. Single tag resource faceting and multiple tag information object faceting: The basic features are explored of single…

Lin, Yi-Ling – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This dissertation focuses on investigating whether users will locate desired images more efficiently and effectively when they are provided with information descriptors from both experts and the general public. This study develops a way to support image finding through a human-computer interface by providing subject headings and social tags about…

Ochoa, Jose Luis; Almela, Angela; Valencia-Garcia, Rafael – Educational Research and Reviews, 2011
The identification of valid terms in any domain is fundamental to its computerization. For this reason, in this paper we present a method for obtaining automated morphosyntactic patterns, which will help researchers to obtain valid terms from the proposed patterns, in order to build quality ontologies for the translation from one language to…

Monreal, Concha Soler; Gil-Leiva, Isidoro – Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 2011
Introduction: Several controlled vocabularies are used for indexing three journal articles to check if better or equal consistency rates are achieved with a list of descriptors than with a standard thesaurus and augmented thesaurus. Method: A terminology set for library and information Science was used to build a list of descriptors with…

Caldera-Serrano, Jorge – Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, 2008
This article attempts to offer an overview of the current changes that are being experienced in the management of audio-visual documentation and those that can be forecast in the future as a result of the migration from analogue to digital information. For this purpose the documentary chain will be used as a basis to analyse individually the tasks…

Horsnell, Verina – 1974
An intermediate lexicon is described that employs a technique which allows, for a given subject area, the automatic translation of subject indexing from one indexing scheme into another. The lexicon was structured according to the principles of faceted classification and contained approximately 1,000 entries covering the field of library and…

Nedobity, Wolfgang – UNESCO Journal of Information Science, Librarianship and Archives Administration, 1983
Discusses the connection between the fields of terminology and information science and demonstrates the importance of linguistics, in particular the theory of terminology, in the automation of such information processes as classification, indexing, and abstracting. Fourteen references are cited. (Author/EJS)

Zunde, Pranas; Dexter, Margaret E. – 1969
Proposed is a measure of indexing consistency based on the concept of "fuzzy sets." By this procedure a higher consistency value is assigned if indexers agree on the more important terms than if they agree on less important terms. Measures of the quality of an indexer's work and exhaustivity of indexing are also proposed. Experimental data on…

Foskett, D. J. – 1970
The Classification Research Group has produced a number of reports which explore the theoretical, as opposed to special, classification schemes and worked out their applications in detail in a few selected disciplines. A short and simplified introduction to these reports, which are published under the title "Classification and Information…
