- The paper presents a novel algorithm to automatically generate a navigation hierarchy for a large unstructured cultural heritage collection, which performs as well as a range of manually curated hierarchies. This benefits cultural heritage institutions, who frequently lack the resources to manually organise their vast collections and the automatic algorithm allows them to open up their digital archives to the non-specialist, general public. The paper has influenced not only the wider information retrieval area (Clough, 2015), but also work in information studies (Bawden and Robinson, 2015) and on exploring source code (Lawrie and Binkley, 2015).
