“…The EconBiz portal is a service from ZBW -Leibniz Information Centre for Economics to search for economics and business research (Kempf et al 2016), and EconStor 31 is a related publication server and online repository for economic research. While one can also view JEL codes of the search result documents if they are available in the original publication, there is no alternative to search by JEL code under the "Advanced" search option; however, a project has been launched to create a mapping between the STW (Standard-Thesaurus Wirtschaft) Thesaurus for Economics extended search terms and JEL classification codes (Kempf and Neubert 2016;Rebholz et al 2016). 32 National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working papers are among the most influential working papers in economics (Lusher et al 2021), and authors may assign JEL codes when publishing their working papers in NBER working paper series.…”

“…Hence, it is the de facto standard method of classifying scholarly literature in the field of economics (cf. Ekwurzel 1995;Pencavel 2008;Kempf and Neubert 2016;. This article aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge related to the JEL codes classification system.…”

“…Wśród sześciu artykułów opublikowanych we wspomnianym numerze specjalnym KO autor tylko jednego, Birger Hjørland, wyraził przekonanie, że użyteczność dotychczasowej koncepcji tezaurusa we współczesnym środowisku wyszukiwania informacji wyczerpała się, jakkolwiek zaznaczył, że nadal pozostaje miejsce dla "more flexible semantic tools based on proper studies of domains" (Hjorland, 2016, 13). Autorzy pozostałych artykułów dowodzili natomiast, że potrzeba stosowania w wyszukiwaniu takich narzędzi jak tezaurusy jest nadal aktualna, prezentując jednak argumenty dotyczące przede wszystkim braku dobrych narzędzi semantycznych wspierających wyszukiwanie informacji specjalistycznej, w szczególności w takich środowiskach jak korporacyjne intranety, systemy zarządzania dokumentami, biblioteki obrazów, katalogi muzeów, archiwa zapisów dźwiękowych, pełnotekstowe bazy agencji prasowych, wielojęzyczne systemy zarządzania zasobami cyfrowymi (White, 2016;Kempf & Neubert, 2016;Tudhope & Binding, 2016;MacFarlane, 2016;Garcia-Marco, 2016). W kilku istotnych kwestiach istnieje jednak wyraźna zgoda.…”

“…Undoubtedly, part of the new relevance is the role played by the publication of individual KOS as linked data represented in the SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) W3C Recommendation standard (Miles and Bechhofer, 2009). SKOS is a widely used standard with a growing number of vocabularies available and applications able to process SKOS input data (see for example, Caracciolo et al, 2013;Haslhofer et al, 2013;Isaac and Baker, 2015;Kempf and Neubert, 2016).…”
