Enhancing the Indexing Vocabulary of the Dewey Decimal Classification
Carol Jean Godby · Journal of Library Administration · 2001
This work explores the possibility of using unrestricted machine-readable full text to augment the indexing vocabulary of the Dewey Decimal Classification and make it more accessible to end users. It is based on the hypothesis that contemporary text is more likely to contain up-to-date vocabulary than a reference work that must undergo a rigorous editorial review process.
