Dr. Yunseon Choi serves as Associate Professor at Valdosta State University, specializing in Library and Information Science with research focusing on knowledge organization systems. Her academic work centers on metadata, ontologies, and linked data applications in social media and children's literature contexts.
Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2011)
- M.A. in Library and Information Science, Yonsei University (1999)
- Bachelor of Library Science, Chung-Ang University (1995)
Dr. Choi's research program investigates how knowledge organization principles apply to contemporary digital environments, particularly examining reader-generated content in social media and online book reviews. She develops methods to extract meaningful metadata from unstructured discussions about children's multicultural literature, creating bridges between computational analysis and traditional cataloging practices. Her work aims to improve book recommendation systems through sentiment analysis and feature clustering techniques.
