Data Mining of LC Authority File Database
For my concluding review of Data Mining and Knowledge
Discovery in Databases, I am interested in learning about
any and all efforts to apply any standard or non-standard
Data Mining technique to the L of C Authority file database.
For those new to Data Mining you may wish to visit
my project description page at the following URL:
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/4T9R.htm
In addition you may wish to review several key
articles that appeared in the _Communications of the ACM_
in November 1996 (v.39)
Data Mining is an approach to seeks to identify non-
explicit relationships among/between database that may
offer a means of better utilize the data.
In addition, any other efforts to massage the LCSH
Authority File to reveal all of it's Hidden Meaning(s) [:->]
would also be of interest. Efforts to Data Mine other
Authority File Databases are also of interest.
[I believe that Data Mining may be a means of identifying
Information Facets within the Controlled Vocabulary structure]
