Replication data for: Examining the OpenAlex Concepts: A Detailed Case Study of Machine-Derived Classification
Listed in Borealis
Machine-learning techniques are becoming increasingly popular in metadata and clas- sification work due to their ability to operate at scale, but insufficient consideration has been given to how effective such techniques truly are against traditional prac- tice.
Description
This dataset was generated as part of a thesis project to analyze the machine-generated OpenAlex concept hierarchy and its associated machine-learning model in comparison to established classification standards and practices.
It consists of several files in CSV and JSON-L format that elucidate structural relationships within the OpenAlex concepts hierarchy. It was generated using, and is limited to, the October 2023 OpenAlex snaphot.
