Reihe: Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization

In many fields of science and practice large amounts of data
and informationare collected for analyzing and visualizing
latent structures as orderings or classifications for
example. This volume presents refereed and revised versions
of 52 papers selected from the contributions of the 16th
AnnualConference of the "German Classification Society".
The papers are organized in three major sections on Data
Analysis and Classification (1), InformationRetrieval,
Knowledge Processing and Software (2), Applications and
Special Topics (3). Moreover, the papers were grouped and
ordered within the major sections. So, in the first section
we find papers on Classification Methods, Fuzzy
Classification, Multidimensional Scaling, Discriminant
Analysis and Conceptual Analysis. The second section
contains papers on Neural Networks and Computational
Linguisticsin addition to the mentioned fields. An
essential part of the third section attends to Sequence Data
and Tree Reconstruction as well as Data Analysis and
Informatics in Medicine. As special topics the volume
presents applications in Thesauri, Archaeology, Musical
Science and Psychometrics.
