| Abstract | Starting from the beginning of this decade, the amount of electronic information available
from the Internet has been increasing dramatically. Designing a tool to search relevant
information on the Internet is not easy, because of the lack of proper organizing principles in
the Internet.
Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) has been used for information organization for many
years. First published in 1876, it has been continuously revised to meet evolving information
access needs, both in the traditional library and in the electronic environments.
Clustering techniques have been successfully applied in the field of information retrieval
(IR). Applying clustering to hypertext documents and organizing them according to DDC
classification scheme is the main purpose of this thesis. Topic representative, (or query in IR)
is generated.
Manually organized seed hyper-documents and automatically assigned topics of new
documents to DDC are the main results of the thesis project. The full system was built and
tested by the research to prove the effectiveness of this approach in information organization
field. |
