Evolutionary Subject Tagging in the Humanities; Supporting Discovery and Examination in Digital Cultural Landscapes
In this paper, the authors attempt to identify problematic issues for subject tagging in the humanities, particularly those associated with information objects in digital formats. In the third major section, the authors identify a number of assumptions that lie behind the current practice of subject classification that we think should be challenged. We move then to propose features of classification systems that could increase their effectiveness. These emerged as recurrent themes in many of the conversations with scholars, consultants, and colleagues. Finally, we suggest next steps that we believe will help scholars and librarians develop better subject classification systems to support research in the humanities.NEH Office of Digital Humanities: Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant (HD-51166-10
Sharing Linkable Learning Objects with the use of Metadata and a Taxonomy Assistant for Categorization
In this work, a re-design of the Moodledata module functionalities is
presented to share learning objects between e-learning content platforms, e.g.,
Moodle and G-Lorep, in a linkable object format. The e-learning courses content
of the Drupal-based Content Management System G-Lorep for academic learning is
exchanged designing an object incorporating metadata to support the reuse and
the classification in its context. In such an Artificial Intelligence
environment, the exchange of Linkable Learning Objects can be used for dialogue
between Learning Systems to obtain information, especially with the use of
semantic or structural similarity measures to enhance the existent Taxonomy
