Disciplinary composition of EASY
The category tree used in EASY
Numbers don’t add up!? They should not add up!!! Used as controlled vocabulary they get linked via co-classification.

The secret beauty of classifications
Knowledge Space LabAlmila Akdag Sahal, Cheng Gao, Krzysztof Suchecki, Andrea Scharnhorst
Study of different knowledge representations
Top-down Approach
all knowledge
field group
discipline
… specialty …
specific document(e.g. article)
Bottom-up Approach – basis of folksonomies
• Relational InformationPapers, authors, institutions, etc.
Relations between the items – citations, co-authorships, collaborations, word co-occurence, citation environment similarity etc.
Classification Systems
The structure is determined by the author of the system
