Automatic Classification Possible?
Hey friends,
I need some information regarding autmatic classification of documents, I mean is there any platform or software available through which automatic class no to documents can be provided?? As OCLC is providing a service for book classification where they are maintaining a databases of books with their class no where any body can find class no of books by serching the book name or by its ISBN. I am not asking about this OCLC service. I need some info if any such software or platform is available where you can assign DDC or UDC class no to books.

Library classification is purely a translation of the specific subject of the book to the set of notation and also providing the indvidualising elements to the document. So In my opinion a machine or automatic can only ease out the classification But accurate and precise classification is not possible without the intervention of human brain and expertise

You can only do the broad type of classification ,specific ,precise and accurate classification needs human expertise, experience and human brain no computer, no machine can replace it

Dear Friend,
by reading your post, it seems that you are looking for something else. You are not looking for the answers which have been given here. Now you please clarify, what exactly you are looking far? or what do you want to do?
Note: OCLC is an organization, which has group of experts, who approve the class nos before making them public.
thanking you

No, there is no any such software, which facilitate us ready-made classification Numbers. A system may provide us classification number made with the logical arrangements of software and hardware and data (information stored in database). And, you are already aware about the OCLC world catalog and the other university catalog. In this regard, if you want to make your own system like OCLC world catalog, you can take choose any LMS or Library automation Software for the or content management software (may be WinISIS also), where you can start adding the document and their respective classification nos. By this way you can create another parallel to other, tomorrow.
It seems that you are planning for comparative study of such facilities in your research work; right?
Thanking you.
