Visualizing the Evolution of Information Retrieval via the ACM Computer Classification Codes

Abstract

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) “provides the computing field's premier Digital Library and serves its members and the computing profession with leading-edge publications, conferences, and career resources” [1]. As part of the submission process to the digital library, each document is tagged with both controlled and uncontrolled vocabulary terms by the author to aid in that document's retrieval by other researchers.
