Advances in Classification Research--Vol. 4
Proceedings of the 4th ASIS SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop
Edited by Raya Fidel, Barbara H. Kwasnik, Clare Beghtol, and Philip J. Smith
Several topics presented in Advances in Classification Research, Volume 4 focus on
methods for creating and exploiting classification structures, especially multidimensional
and multi-hierarchical structures. Other themes deal with using classification for
designing retrieval tools and for the elicitation and representation of knowledge.
Additional themes address the broad area of concept representation and the design of tools
for a variety of settings to help information seekers explore such representations.
With an emphasis on these important advances, Advances in Classification Resarch,
Volume 4 includes the following chapters:
