Purpose - This paper aims to respond to the 2005 paper by Hjorland and Nissen Pedersen by suggesting that an exhaustive and universal classification of the phenomena that scholars study, and the methods and theories they apply, is feasible. It seeks to argue that such a classification is critical...

Interdisciplinary communication, and thus the rate of progress in scholarly understanding, would be greatly enhanced if scholars had access to a universal classification of documents or ideas not grounded in particular disciplines or cultures. Such a classification is feasible if complex concepts...

The use of machine learning is rapidly rising to deliver a variety of benefits in various domains. However, developing predictive systems often faces many challenges that can drastically delay model deployment. For instance, obtaining labeled training data is one of the most expensive bottlenecks...
