Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is to develop methodology that helps users select people on the Web. The following are its main results. (1) We present a method of assigning Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC) to people on the Web. We use a relative index in NDC, which lists the related index terms attached to NDC. We count the number of relative index terms contained in the titles of Web pages. We evaluated the usefulness of our approach by comparing four methods and six documents and found that our method outperformed other methods and documents. (2) We presented a system that displays a curriculum vitae with a map for people on the Web, and evaluated our algorithms that extract place names and convert them into location information from Web search results.
