APPLICATION OF TEXT MINING AND DATA MINING IN PALEONTOLOGY TAXON RECOMMENDATION AND SEARCH SYSTEM

摘要

The main objective of this study is to propose a framework that utilizes text mining techniques in developing a taxon description recommendation and search framework. The proposed framework is illustrated with a sample database in Paleontology. This study provides insights on 1) how text mining can be used to develop a descriptive model; and 2) how descriptive terms generated during the text mining process can be utilized to provide a basic set of standard lexicon to develop a standardized taxon description recommendation. Furthermore, advantages and drawbacks of the proposed framework are discussed and future research directions are proposed.
