Information Technology & Libraries, 30 (1): 7 - 15 (2011)
Abstract
The article discusses a method of classifying the subject matter of nonfiction books using software script developed by the author that searches content on the Wikipedia web site using the Google web site. The author introduces ways that Wikipedia has been used by other researchers for metadata enrichment, text clustering, and classification. The author describes a test case he conducted for his book-subject classification system using the book Ä Brief History of Time," by Stephen Hawking. Results of a broader test of the author's approach are tabulated and discussed.
