While some empirical studies have been done exploring whether the direct use of traditional classification schemes designed for a manual environment is effective and efficient in the online environment, none has manipulated these manual classifications in such a way as to take full advantage of the power of both the classification and computer. It has been suggested by some authors, such as Wajenberg and Drabenstott, that this power could be realized if the individual components of synthesized DDC numbers could be identified and indexed. This study looks at the feasibility of automatically decomposing DDC synthesized numbers and the implications of such decomposition for information retrieval. The following two research questions were posed for this study: (1) Is it possible to decompose synthesized DDC numbers into component numbers accurately by the computer? (2) How can the decomposition of DDC synthesized numbers improve information storage and retrieval? |
