Discussion: Categorization and N-Dimensional Space | | Categorization and N-Dimensional Space Quote:
When working with database centric applications - which describes most applications in the both the web centric world and the client-server space - you inevitably want to categorize data. Categorizations can be as simple as a keyword tag or something slightly more complex such as a tier-structured menu, a collaborative tagging or voting system, or an elaborate combination of multiple fields.
These "simple" categorization systems certainly add value and do their job as far as structuring data, but what about predictive modeling? Perhaps you want to figure out what books a user might enjoy based on past voting history or maybe you want to make a knowledge base system more effective based on the self-help history of previous users.
