Methods of subject analysis in the digital environment and its philosophe

Abstract

Subject Analysis is an important method and link between sources of knowledge and users in various fields, where the human effort of the analyzers is the cornerstone to determining the content of information sources in the normal environment, while in the digital environment that effort has become decreasing in the face of the emergence of automated methods of subject analysis. The study focuses on subject analysis in its third stage according to the development of the process of subject analysis in the electronic and digital environment in particular, and hence it seeks to answer the following question: What are the methods of subject analysis in the digital environment, and what are its mechanisms follow the analytical inductive method of what is stated in the sources of information specialized in the organization of information in general, and subject analysis in particular; to collect information on the subject of the study, and come up with a general diagnosis, and to achieve several things, can be summarized as follows: 1. Definition of subject analysis in the digital environment, and its phased development.2. Identify the terms used when applying subject analysis in the digital environment.3. Describe the methods of subject analysis in the digital environment: Ontology, Tag, Folksonomy and Taxonomy. The study found several results, including: 1. The agreement of all methods of subject analysis in the digital environment in the use of terms and descriptors to organize subject content.2. The Ontology and Taxonomy method is based on preloading lists that are similar to headers or headers, so they look more organized.3. Tag and Folksonomy are random selection.4. All listed methods are scalable and constantly updated.5. Folksonomy and Taxonomy agreed to follow the broad and narrow classifications, thus following hierarchies in the order of terms or descriptors, while having a more qualitative context in Ontology and Tag. Thus, the study recommends the preparation of further studies to clarify the mechanism of subject analysis followed when designing Arabic sites, and how to choose specific terms or descriptions, and whether this is governed by the pre-reliance on fixed lists, or the analysis is from the reality of what is presented in the thematic content!
