Every indexing language is made up of terms. Those terms have morphological characteristics. These include terms made up of single words, two words, or more. We can also take into account the total number of terms.We can ... -
Terminology Cross-Domain Final Report
The InterPARES 2 Terminology Cross-Domain has created three terminological instruments in service to the project, and by extension, Archival Science. Over the course of the five-year project this Cross-Domain has collected ... -
The Economic and Aesthetic Axis of Information Organization Frameworks
This paper argues that in order to systematically comprehend the diversity of information organization frameworks, we must look at how aesthetic concerns and economic concerns manifest in decisions made about designing and ... -

Three Spheres of Classification Research: Emergence, Encyclopedism, and Ecology
Three paths of interdisciplinary work shape the future of classification research.emergence, encyclopedism, and ecology. Each of these, in method, approach, and in substantive inquiry outline both the boundaries and the ... -
Toward a Taxonomy of Harm in Knowledge Organization Systems
A starting point for contributing to the greater good is to examine and interrogate existing knowledge organization practices that do harm, whether that harm is intentional or accidental, or an inherent and unavoidable ... -
Toward a Theory of Structure in Information Organization Frameworks
This paper outlines a formal and systematic approach to explication of the role of structure in information organization. It presents a preliminary set of constructs that are useful for understanding the similarities and ... -
Toward an Understanding of the History and Impact of User Studies in Music Information Retrieval
(University of Washington, 2015-06)Most Music Information Retrieval (MIR) researchers will agree that understanding users' needs and behaviors is critical for developing a good MIR system. The number of user studies in the MIR domain has been gradually ... -
Two Axes of Domains for Domain Analysis
This paper adds two analytical devices to domain analysis, claiming that for domain analysis to work cumulatively transferable definitions of domains must be written. To establish this definition the author provides two ... -

Users’ Music Information Needs and Behaviors: Design Implications for Music Information Retrieval Systems
(University of Washington Information School, 2015-05)User studies in the music information retrieval (MIR) domain tend to be exploratory and qualitative in nature, involving a small number of users, which makes it difficult to derive broader implications for system design. ... -
Versioning Concept Schemes for Persistent Retrieval
Things change. Words change, meaning changes and use changes both words and meaning. In information access systems this means concept schemes such as thesauri or clas- sification schemes change. They always have. Concept ...
