To help users select and understand people during searches for them, we present a method of assigning Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC), which is a system of library classification numbers, to people on the Web. By assigning NDC numbers to people, we can assign not only labels to people but also build a NDC-based people directory. We developed a prototype based on this approach.
The initial idea of assigning library classification numbers to people was presented in a very short position paper REF .
