The German National Library has been working on a project for automatic subject classification that is expected to go live at the end of this year. This project, called PETRUS, is explained in detail in this article (in German). Part of the Library’s mission is the creation of the German National Bibliography, and to keep pace with the onslaught of (digital) resources more efficiency is needed. The main areas where human intellectual work is supported by machines in the PETRUS project are indexing, classification, metadata extraction and metadata generation."
