Editorial for the 17th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems Workshop (NKOS 2017)
(2017)
Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), in the form of classification systems, thesauri, lexical databases, ontologies, and taxonomies, play a crucial role in digital information management and applications generally. Carrying semantics in a well-controlled and documented way, Knowledge Organization Systems serve a variety of important functions: tools for representation and indexing of information and documents, knowledge-based support to information searchers, semantic road maps to domains and disciplines, communication tool by providing conceptual framework, and conceptual basis for knowledge based systems, e.g. automated classification systems. New networked KOS (NKOS) services and applications are emerging, and we have reached a stage where many KOS standards exist and the integration of linked services is no longer just a future scenario. This editorial describes the workshop outline and overview of presented papers at the 17th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems Workshop (NKOS 2017) which was held during the TPDL 2017 Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Diese Studie untersucht Gruppen von Ortsnamen in Deutschland (in den Postleitregionen) nach vorhandenen Ähnlichkeiten. Als Messgröße wird ein Häufigkeitsvektor von Trigrammen in jeder Gruppe herangezogen. Mit der Anwendung des Average Linkage-Algorithmus auf die Messgröße werden Cluster aus räumlich zusammenhängenden Gebieten gebildet, obwohl das Verfahren keine Kenntnis über die Lage der Cluster zueinander besitzt. In den Clustern werden die zehn häufigsten n-Gramme ermittelt, um charakteristische Wortpartikel darzustellen. Die von den Clustern umschriebenen Gebiete lassen sich zwanglos durch historische oder linguistische Entwicklungen erklären. Das hier verwendete Verfahren setzt jedoch kein linguistisches, geographisches oder historisches Wissen voraus, ermöglicht aber die Gruppierung von Namen in eindeutiger Weise unter Berücksichtigung einer Vielzahl von Wortpartikeln in einem Schritt. Die Vorgehensweise ohne Vorwissen unterscheidet diese Studie von den meisten bisher angewendeten Untersuchungen.
The amount of papers published yearly increases since decades. Libraries need to make these resources accessible and available with classification being an important aspect and part of this process. This paper analyzes prerequisites and possibilities of automatic classification of medical literature. We explain the selection, preprocessing and analysis of data consisting of catalogue datasets from the library of the Hanover Medical School, Lower Saxony, Germany. In the present study, 19,348 documents, represented by notations of library classification systems such as e.g. the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), were classified into 514 different classes from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classification system. The algorithm used was k-nearest-neighbours (kNN). A correct classification rate of 55.7% could be achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is not only the first research conducted towards the use of the NLM classification in automatic classification but also the first approach that exclusively considers already assigned notations from other
classification systems for this purpose.
For indexing archived documents the Dutch Parliament uses a specialized thesaurus. For good results for full text retrieval and automatic classification it turns out to be important to add more synonyms to the existing thesaurus terms. In the present work we investigate the possibilities to find synonyms for terms of the parliaments thesaurus automatically. We propose to use distributional similarity (DS). In an experiment with pairs of synonyms and non-synonyms we train and test a classifier using distributional similarity and string similarity. Using ten-fold cross validation we were able to classify 75% of the pairs of a set of 6000 word pairs correctly.
