This study investigated the utilization and interrelatedness of Scopus subject categories. To conduct this study, major and minor subject categories of journals listed in the 2017 Scopus index were used. The results showed varying degrees of interrelatedness of subject categories. At the major subject category level, the utilization was the highest in Medicine, while Social Sciences showed a greater degree of interrelatedness in comparison to Medicine. Yet, at the minor subject level, 2700 General Medicine was particularly dominant in terms of utilization and interrelatedness. Moreover, co-occurrences of minor subject categories showed varying degrees of interrelatedness between pairs of minor subject categories. Pairs of minor subject categories showed the following characteristics: a) two subject categories having identical or closely identical descriptions, b) two different categories having an interrelationship by subject areas, and c) one category conceptually encompassing another category. Due to varying degrees of utilization and interrelatedness among subject categories, minor subject categories that may greatly influence the major subject categories in conducting research studies should be investigated in detail.

본 논문은 커뮤니티 기반의 질의-응답 서비스에서 사용자 질의의 주제를 분류하는 시스템을 소개한다. 커뮤니티 기반의 질의-응답 서비스는 분야에 따라 다양한 주제를 가질 수 있으며 오늘 날 사용자 질의의 주제 분류에는 통계 기반의 분류 방법이 많이 이용되고 있다. 통계 기반의 분류 방법으로 사용자 질의를 분류하기 위해서는 주제에 적합한 대량의 학습 말뭉치가 필요하다. 주제에 적합한 대량의 학습 말뭉치를 사람이 직접 구축하는 것은 많은 시간과 비용이 든다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 위키피디아 문서를 Supervised K-means Clustering 기법으로 주제별로 분류함으로써 학습 말뭉치를 반자동으로 구축하는 방법을 제안한다. 그 다음, 생성된 학습 말뭉치로 지지 벡터 기계를 학습하여 사용자 질의의 주제를 분류하게 된다. 위키피디아 문서와 사용자 질의는 다른 도메인의 문서임에도 불구하고 본 논문의 시스템으로 사용자 질의의 주제를 분류한 결과 77.33%의 정확도를 보였다.

As the boundaries between disciplines have been weakened and interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary subjects have increased, there is a limitation to express subjects with DDC. This study evaluates DDC instructions using interdisciplinary numbers and classifying more than one discipline through Delphi research. As a result, it is found that there is a need for defining separately 'interdisciplinary subjects' and 'multidisciplinary subjects', based on the level of integration among disciplines, and improving the instruction to maintain the consistency in assigning and filing classification numbers. It is also discussed that to enhance the symbols' power of expression, an analytic/synthetic method could be adopted.

The aim of this study is 1) to analyse the historical development and current condition of the subject based classification(SBC), 2) to clarify the function and to categorize the specific kind of SBC, for its conceptualization and the development plan. For this purpose, almost 30 cases, for the period 1937 through now, were analyzed concerning their terms used in the names and the specific kinds as SBC. In addition, the analysis was made regarding how the SBC fulfill the selected main functions as a classificatory scheme and how SBC is inter-related with the other knowledge organization systems(KOS) such as classification and subject heading. Based on the above analysis, the conclusion addressed that SBC could be defined in consideration of the detailed function, type, information environment, and interconnection among the KOS, and suggested the future development plan of SBC as a classification scheme.

This study aims to analyse the necessity of the subject heading construction for the word based classification and to suggest a methodology that uses various knowledge organization systems(KOS). For this purpose, six kinds of KOS were collected for the 20 selected works in each subject. The collected subjects were analysed in terms of constructing a subject heading for the word based classification. The result of the analysis shows that there is a noticeable difference between the library oriented KOS and commercial oriented KOS. In addition, user oriented tags are more similar to the commercial sector's concerning subject categorization than the library oriented ones. However, there is no noticeable difference among the library oriented KOS, commercial sector oriented KOS, and user oriented tags regarding the subject vocabulary. Some practical implications were suggested for the application to the Korean libraries based on the findings of this study.

최근 다양한 형식의 웹 문서에서 사용자가 원하는 정보만을 검색 하기위해 웹 문서를 주제별로 분류하여 수집하고, 관리하는 것은 필수적인 요소이다. 즉, 정확하고 빠른 정보 검색을 위한 웹 문서 수집은 문서 형식에 따라 분류되어 수집 되어야 한다. 따라서 웹 환경에서 문서를 구성하는 형식을 텍스트나 이미지 데이터로 구분하고 그 형식에 맞는 분류기법을 사용한다면 정확한 정보 검색이 이루어 질수 있다. 본 논문에서는 텍스트와 URL을 이용한 주제 중심의 하이브리드 웹 문서 분류 방법을 제안한다. 텍스트와 URL을 이용한 분류 방법은 텍스트 형식은 주제 중심의 문서 분류방식을 사용하며, 텍스트 정보의 효용성이 낮은 경우 URL의 주제 분포도를 이용하여 분류하며 수집한다. 이를 통해 여러 가지 형식의 웹 문서가 분류 가능하며, 주제에 따른 문서 분류의 정확도가 높아진다.

Subject classification of thesis units is essential to serve scholarly information deliverables. However, to date, there is a journal-based topic classification, and there are not many article-level subject classification services. In the case of academic papers among domestic works, subject classification can be a more important information because it can cover a larger area of service and can provide service by setting a range. However, the problem of classifying themes by field requires the hands of experts in various fields, and various methods of verification are needed to increase accuracy. In this paper, we try to classify topics using the unsupervised learning algorithm to find the correct answer in the unknown state and compare the results of the subject classification algorithms using the coherence and perplexity. The unsupervised learning algorithms are a well-known Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP), Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to develop the classification scheme in subject-based directory search engine for educational research information on the web. Five classification systems. Yahoo Korea, Argus Clearinghouse, DDC, ERIC thesaurus and KEDI thesaurus were measured in terms of coverage of subject fields, system logic, accuracy of terminology and efficiency of searching. For the design of Classification Scheme, this study considered the content of subject areas, features of information resources and efficiency based on users. Finally, the Classification Scheme was established in terms of 16 main divisions and 47 sub-divisions in educational research information.

It is very important to organize materials at intemet bookstores. It is time for us to develop a subject classification scheme as a tool for increasing the effectiveness of information retrieval with ease of subject access. The purpose of this study is to examine the subject features of internet bookstores in order to suggest the effective design of the subject scheme for them. Nine internet bookstore websites are analyzed at the aspect of the subject classification of the materials. Based upon the results of this study, an effective subject classification for internet bookstores is suggested to provide a better subject access.

This study aims to analyze the word based classification used in U.S. public libraries and their implications for Korean libraries. For this purpose, eleven U.S. public libraries using the word based classification system were selected and the specific classification types, their motivation, collection size, methods used in the conversion from DDC, and pros and cons were examined. The result of the analysis shows that the word based classification system may be categorized into the two types: Dewey-free or Dewey-lite and its application methods are different case by case. As a result, the positive impacts and implied problems of the word based classification system for library use and library operation were examined. In addition, the new system's implications on the Korean libraries were also discussed.
