Abstract

Preliminary research in the taxonomy of subject matter is reported. This work is part of a program of study aimed at developing computational methods useful in the preparation of educational matter for presentation by machine. Basic concepts of subject structure are defined. A language processing program that assists the classification of subject matter is described and its use illustrated. An experiment on the variations in subject structure as seen by different individuals is reported.
