Using Knowledge Engineering Tool to Identify the Subject of a Document - Research Results

Information databases today contain many millions of electronic documents. Locating information on the Internet today is problematic, due to the enormous number of documents it contains. Several other studies have found that associating documents with a subject or list of topics can improve locatability of information on the Internet. Effective cataloguing of information is performed manually, requiring extensive resources. Consequently, most information is currently not catalogued. This paper aims to present a software tool that automatically locates the subject of a document specially developed for this purpose, and to show the results of a test performed using one hundred scientific articles.
