Taxonomy is widely used in many of the website and directory navigation schemes for content/knowledge retrieval. However, information or content navigation support through taxonomy is often constrained due to its inability to take into account the full nomenclature and cultural nuances of knowledge seekers. The emergence and increasing adoption of collaborative tagging (social bookmarking) tool...

UNLABELLED At advanced stages of working with user-defined protein and gene sequence collections, it is frequently necessary to link these data to the taxonomic tree and to extract subsets in accordance with taxonomic considerations. Since no general automatic tools had been available, this was a tedious manual effort. Our taxonomy workbench allows processing of sequence sets, mapping of these ...

The development of taxonomies/ontologies is a human intensive process requiring prohibitively large resource commitments in terms of time and cost. In our previous work we have identified an experimentation framework for semi-automatic taxonomy/hierarchy generation from unstructured text. As observed in the preliminary results presented, the taxonomy/hierarchy quality was lower than we had anti...

In this paper we face the automatic construction of a lexical taxonomy for the Spanish language using as input a taxonomy of English (WordNet)1 and a set of bilingual (English/Spanish) resources. Although applied to Spanish/English our method claims to be general enough to be applied in the cases a skeletal taxonomy already exists and we dispose of methods for mapping items to this taxonomy wit...

In this article a review of software projects based on a taxonomy project is established, allowing the development team or testing personnel to identify the tests to which the project must be subjected for validation. The taxonomy is focused on identifying software projects according to their technology. To establish the taxonomy, a development method comprised of 5 phases was applied. The deve...

This paper concerns a study of the performance of students in a recent linear algebra examination. We investigated differences in performance in tasks requiring understanding of the concepts with those that required only the use of routine procedures and factual recall. Central to this study was the use of a taxonomy, based on Bloom's Taxonomy, for characterising assessment tasks, which we have...

Data from the United Nations and the International Civil Aviation Organization Information Systems were used as a base for characterizing, classifying and comparing air transport demand and supply features of 156 countries. Relevant data from 1980 were chosen to reflect five sets of characteristics namely, air transport, 50cm-economic status, population demography, geographical and environmenta...

Due to different aspects that emotion-oriented research looks to capture, the emotion taxonomy used often differs among research efforts. Therefore, it is hard to coordinate the research efforts using different emotion taxonomies. On the other hand, due to the multiplicity of “emotion”, emotion annotations more naturally fit the paradigm of multi-label classification since one instance (such as...

We present a novel methodology for the analysis of activities engaged in an organization such as the research conducted in a University department by mapping them to a related hierarchical taxonomy such as Classification of Computer Subjects by ACM (ACM-CCS). We start by collecting data of activities of the individual components of the organization and present them as the components fuzzy membe...

The NCBI Taxonomy is a valuable resource for coordinating information about biological taxa. Its 378,802 taxonomy nodes cover the superkingdoms of Archaea, Bacteria, Eukaryotes, Viruses and Viriods, down to subspecies and strains. However, the size and scope present practical problems when using the Taxonomy in applications, specifically when using the NCBI Taxonomy in a search interface for sp...
