This paper presents a browser-based semi-automatic taxonomy construction tool Vd-chuck which is able to incorporate text and data mining algorithms into a userfriendly interface. The presented system is browserbased. Its unsupervised learning for concept suggestion and different visualization techniques assist the user with textual and numerical data analysis. We tested the Vdchuck system on a ...

A set of 86 bacterial cultures, including 30 strains of Vibrio cholerae, 35 strains of V. parahaemolyticus, and 21 representative strains of Pseudomonas, Spirillum, Achromobacter, Arthrobacter, and marine Vibrio species were tested for a total of 200 characteristics. Morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics were included in the analysis. Overall deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ...

This paper presents empirical studies of applying numerical taxonomy to component clustering and software partitioning. The technique is based on cohesion and coupling information of a software system as these two properties have great impact on other software quality attributes such as maintainability, portability, scalability and reusability. The technique has been successfully applied to sev...

da Silva, G. A. Nigel (Iowa State University, Ames), and John G. Holt. Numerical taxonomy of certain coryneform bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 90:921-927. 1965-An electronic computer was used to sort 32 strains of coryneforms into groups with the tree-sort program. The similarity values obtained in this procedure were then used to construct a dendrogram depicting the phenetic resemblance among the tax...
