Abstract

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, the management of huge volumes of information in support of administrative decisions is one of the challenges libraries face. An aid thereby are text mining techniques enabling the extraction of hidden knowledge. The article describes the implementation of Bibliomining and Text Mining in the “Juan Bautista Vázquez” library of the University of Cuenca. The purpose of this study is to determine the behavior of library users by discovering patterns of similarity between the titles they seek and the titles of the bibliographic material they borrow. In this case study, we used the methodology proposed by Nicholson and the algorithms and libraries of the tool R, to create word clouds generated from search terms and book titles; demonstrating that the used visualization facilitates the perception and the interpretation of the obtained results.

Keywords: Data mining, text mining, bibliomining, library, words cloud.

 

 RESUMEN

Hoy en día, la gestión de grandes volúmenes de información para dar soporte a las decisiones administrativas es uno de los retos que enfrentan las bibliotecas. Las técnicas de Text Mining pueden utilizarse para extraer conocimiento oculto de grandes volúmenes de datos. Este artículo describe la implementación de técnicas de Bibliomining y Text Mining en el Centro de Documentación Regional “Juan Bautista Vázquez” de la Universidad de Cuenca. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar el comportamiento de los usuarios de la biblioteca al descubrir patrones de similitud entre los títulos que buscan y los títulos del material bibliográfico que toman prestado. En este caso de estudio, se usa la metodología propuesta por Nicholson y, los algoritmos y librerías de la herramienta R, para crear nubes de palabras generadas a partir de términos de búsquedas y títulos de libros; demostrando que la visualización utilizada facilita la percepción e interpretación de los resultados obtenidos.

Palabras clave: Minería de datos, minería de texto, bibliomining, biblioteca, nube de palabras.
