Abstract
This paper proposes a level-wise exploration of linked and big data guided by controlled vocabularies and folksonomies. We leverage techniques from both Reconstructability Analysis and cataloging and classification research to provide solutions that will structure and store large amounts of metadata, identify links between data, and explore data structures to produce models that will facilitate effective information retrieval.
Highlights
The amount of information stored in libraries is increasing in size
In order to effectively retrieve these items, library catalogs have long relied on various forms of metadata, including controlled vocabularies, such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings, in order to facilitate users’ access to items
Many library and information researchers have come to see the benefits of combining controlled vocabularies with folksonomies, in order to achieve the benefits of both (Adler 2009), while others have countered arguments that tags will always occur idiosyncratically by showing that social tagging stabilizes over time (Halpin et al 2007 and Golder & Huberman 2006)
Summary
The amount of information stored in libraries is increasing in size. For example, the Scholars Portal service provided by the Ontario Council of University Libraries provides digital access to more than 500,000 books, more than 35 million journal articles. While the amount of metadata has increased, a new mode of inquiry, problem solving, and decision-making has become pervasive in building large databases, consisting of. This is the space reserved for copyright notices. Applying computational and mathematical models to infer actionable insight and information from large quantities of data. We think of big data analysis as applying computational and mathematical models to large quantities of data to answer sophisticated questions. This is a relatively recent mode of inquiry, resulting from advancements in the rates at which computers process large amounts of data. Advances In Classification Research Online, 24(1). doi:10.7152/acro.v24i1.14670 different decompositions produced by RA will indicate which items in the library catalog best correlate with particular controlled vocabularies and folksonomies
