- Abstract
This article is based on a Master thesis with the title 'Automatische Indexierung in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachinformation. Eine Evaluationsstudie zur maschinellen Erschließung für die Datenbank SOLIS' (Kempf 2012) written within the framework of the postgraduate study program Library and Information Science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin at the chair of Information Retrieval. On the basis of the so-called 'Shell Model' (Krause 1996, 2006) for domain-specific content cataloguing it presents evaluation results of an automatic indexing tool for cataloguing of social science research literature. Taking the concrete application scenario formulated by Krause, which suggests that SOLIS-data (Social Science Literature Information System) of less relevance should be indexed automatically, the software MindServer by Recommind was tested in two test series on exactly this data. While in the first test series the system's general settings were tested in the second test series the indexing performance for key and for border areas of the database were compared. For this purpose, sub-discipline-specific versions of the software were built up, which were trained on the basis of corresponding data corpora. The results, evaluated on the basis of intellectually generated comparative data, indicate differences in the quality of indexing for key and for border areas of the database which on the one hand speak against the use of automatic indexing for this area of the database. On the other hand the tests suggest that by building up sub-discipline-specific corpora of training the indexing results could be improved.
