Comments
We see great potential to integrate human expertise in designing taxonomies with software that populates those taxonomies quickly, consistently, and inexpensively. However, note that this software:
Works best on full-text document collections
Can’t index images, applications, or other multimedia
Does not adjust for user needs or business goals
Does not understand meaning
