How to read this page
Controlled vocabulary as themes
What is it based on?
Domain anchors are manually defined core concepts. Regular themes are partly manual and partly algorithmically recognised from the corpus.
How certain is it?
Domain anchors are explicit and stable. Theme relations are based on co-occurrence in the current corpus and may shift as the corpus grows.
What does it not mean?
Not an exhaustive taxonomy of the field. Themes reflect what is visible in the indexed corpus, not the full reality.
Domain anchors
Stable domains the observatory starts from.
