However, simplistic word-counting schemes miss many important concepts; librarians must enrich algorithms with background knowledge to escape basic problems such as polysemy and synonymy. I have developed a script that uses Wikipedia as context for analyzing the subjects of nonfiction books. Though a simple method built quickly from freely available parts, it is partially successful, suggesting the promise of such an approach for future research.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Information Technology and Libraries}, author={Yelton, Andromeda}, year={2011}, month={Mar.}, pages={7–15} }
