Subject Mappings
November 22, 2010 – Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center Open House
General Theme
• What is the history of an academic discipline as revealed by a longitudinal analysis as to which professors taught which courses (1922-23 through 1989-90)?
Research Questions (PhD)
Co-Teaching Map
Is co-teaching analysis (the aggregate of the same professor teaching multiple, different courses) a legitimate means to produce a topic map of an academic discipline?
– Hypothesis: Domain maps produced from co-teaching analysis will, on the whole, be regarded as valid by experts in the field.
– Auxiliary Question: What is the best way to validate a domain map?
• Co teaching maps will be preferred by domain experts over similar maps created by random placement of the academic subjects.

Research Questions (PhD)
Comparison to other ‘Structures’2. How do topic maps (domain maps) produced by co-teaching differ
from topic maps (domain maps) produced by other datasets (overlapping list of cases/topics in casebooks; West Topic and Key Number system co-occurrence in caselaw, etc.).
3. How does the evolution of the subjects on the lists of “teachers by subject” contained in the AALS directories differ with those of the Topic and Key Number System (West Publishing) and the controlled thesaurus for the Index to Legal Periodicals? What is the degree of overlap? Which entity led? Did changes in the AALS directories presage the other taxonomies or vice versa?
Research Questions (PhD)
Map Evolution & Trend Identification4. How has the canon of subjects listed in the AALS (American
Association of Law Schools) questionnaire changed over time? How quick is it to incorporate new subjects and has this changed over time?
5. Do certain schools or geographic regions lead in the innovation of new subjects?
6. What subjects are most frequently co-taught?
7. Are certain types of professors (minority, part-time, new, or established), more apt to teach a specific course? Has this changed over time?
2007-08 Syndetic Structure (Waiting to be enhanced by co-occurrence data for the rigorous distribution of topics for which there are no syndetic relationships.)
