Position: Undergraduate Researcher
Date Posted: 9/06/07
Research Title:- Collaborative Classification of Growing Collections with Evolving Facets (NSF Funded)
Faculty Involved:- Kurt Maly, Mohammad Zubair, Harris Wu
Skills Needed:- Some knowledge of web technologies, Java, Javascript, database technologies, XML, and Linux; willingness to learn
Abstract:- There is a lack of tools for exploring large non-textual collections. One challenge is the manual effort required to add metadata to these collections. In this paper, we propose an architecture that enables users to collaboratively build a faceted classification for a large, growing collection. Besides a novel wiki-like classification interface, the proposed architecture includes automated document classification and facet schema enrichment techniques. We have implemented a prototype for the American Political History multimedia collection from usa.gov.
