 Discipline
Discipline is any training intended to produce a specific character or pattern of behaviour, especially training that produces moral or mental development in a particular direction.
Discipline, while often thought to be a coercive mechanism, can be a collaborative process of building consensus regarding accepted behavior within institutions and society.
A method of training to produce obedience and self-control, such as school and military disciplines.

A parent's relationship with her or himself, therefore, is as important to good discipline as is the parent's relationship with the child.
Clearly, nonpunitive discipline is a complex endeavor that requires a good deal of maturity and knowledge on the part of the parent.

 XODP Blog: Keywords, Semantics, and Disambiguation (Oh, My!)
While these search solutions are still very much in their infancy, they suffer from the same sorts of problems that other end-user solutions have always suffered from: (1) A lack of competence on the part of webmasters in objective description and (2) cynical gaming of keyword algorithms.
As I alluded to above, disambiguation is usually a painstakingly labor intensive process that is properly informed by deep reflection.
However, the process of disambiguation seems quite painless when it is contrasted with the much larger challenge of semantic analysis, the latter presuming an exhaustive disambiguation process has already been performed.

 Battle - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Weapons and armor may also play as a decisive factor; however, during the Wars of Scottish Independence the Scots emerged victorious over the English despite inferior weaponry.
Discipline within the troops is also important; at the Battle of Alesia, the Romans were greatly outnumbered but won because of superior training.
However, during the Battle of Kadesh, the first documented battle, in 1275 BC, actual discipline was instilled in both armies.

 W. McCarty, Humanities computing as interdiscipline   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
Disciplines can of course be practiced independently, by euphemestically named "independent scholars", but the context in which our question is being asked quite clearly implies an institutional definition.
Etymologically discipline, pertaining to the disciple or scholar, is antithetical to doctrine, the property of the doctor or teacher; hence, in the history of the words, doctrine is more concerned with abstract theory, and discipline with practice or exercise.
Without knowing precisely what a discipline is, we can nevertheless see easily that humanities computing is interdisciplinary by nature, which is to say that it divides naturally according to the types or ways of viewing data rather than by the disciplines of application.

Because lawyers and jurists more than other professions are self-regulating, almost by definition, they are often held to higher standards of behaviour or at least a stricter etiquette.
Lawyers are sometimes called by other names, as in England where the profession is divided between solicitors and barristers or solicitor and advocate in Scotland.

 Alchemy - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
Today, the discipline is of interest mainly to historians of science and philosophy, and for its mystic, esoteric, and artistic aspects.
Nevertheless, alchemy was one of the main precursors of modern sciences, and we owe to the ancient alchemists the discovery of many substances and processes that are the mainstay of modern chemical and metallurgical industries.
Throughout the history of the discipline, alchemists struggled very hard to understand the nature of these principles, and find some order and sense in the results of their chemical experiments — which were often undermined by impure or poorly characterized reagents, the lack of quantitative measurements, and confusing and inconsistent nomenclature.

 Spur - Voyager, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
Western spurs tend to have rowels, and are designed to be used not by poking the horse, but by running the rowel across the horse's side.
No matter the discipline, it is important that a rider has a correct position before using spurs.
A swinging or unstable leg may inadvertently jab the horse with the spur as the rider sits, irritating, distracting, frightening, or deadening the animal to the leg aids.

 Wikipedia arranged by topic/Talk - Wikipedia
Now, a discipline is an area of study, and since humans study most everything, it makes sense that a list of disciplines would result in a list of starting-pages to most everything.
Sometimes, we (educated human beings) have trouble understanding what a topic is even about, and instead of reading about a discipline (i.e., a practice of studying a subject), we would rather read about the subjects that the discipline studies.
In some disciplines, including history and literature, the above is going to be difficult, because names of disciplines are also subjects of disciplines ("British literature" is also used as the name of the academic discipline, the study of British literature).

 Interdisciplinarity: The Road Ahead for Education in Digital Libraries
Since the impact of IT on all disciplines will only continue to increase, the time is ripe for different approaches — approaches that view curriculum development intellectually at the unit level (what topics and learning objectives/competencies are common across related disciplines) and how best to facilitate this development for professional graduates.
Disciplines with obligations to professional practice tend to be multi-disciplinary and lag behind in research.
LIS and Computing academics and professionals have a unique chance to reflect, articulate and re-consider the disciplinary cultures of their respective disciplines and professions, work out the internal interdisciplinarity of each, and identify when, where and how genuine integration is possible, and with which other disciplines.

Dreaming is the subjective experience of imaginary images, sounds/voices, words, thoughts or sensations during sleep, usually involuntarily.
The scientific discipline of dream research is oneirology.
Dreaming is associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a lighter form of sleep that occurs during the later portion of the sleep cycle, characterized by rapid horizontal eye movements, stimulation of the pons, increased respiratory and heart rate, and temporary paralysis of the body.

 Virtual Grammars and Creative Algorithms.
The discipline of "Alfa-informatica" is defined in a somewhat curious way: by its location, between Computer Science on the one hand and the Arts and Letters on the other.
And the process of disambiguation, of establishing the signs and their mutual relations and meanings, is then a process which interesting for its own sake, independent of any stable outcome -- a process that also can always be continued or resumed.
Such a discipline may function as a refuge where things can happen which do not fit well within the established disciplines; where elements from different disciplines come together in a way which transcends the orthodoxies of those disciplines.

Actually, the same could be said for disambiguations.
For some words or phrases, a single usage is so predominate that it makes sense to have that usage as the direct link for that word or phrase (New York, possibly).
Those pages that do require a disambiguation tag should be called something like [New York (other meanings)] or [New York (other pages)], instead of New York (disambiguation).

For other people of the same name, see Adam Smith (disambiguation).'' Adam Smith Adam Smith (1723–July 17, 1790) was a Scottish political economist and moral philosopher.
His Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was one of the earliest attempts to study the historical development of industry and commerce in Europe.
That work helped to create the modern academic discipline of economics and provided one of the best-known intellectual rationales for free trade and capitalism.

The history of any discipline is a history of just such discordant moments because knowledge can never entirely escape its historical and institutional blindnesses, and our own everyday practice takes those blindnesses into account'.
It does this to stand in opposition to them and to provide the results of its work to whomever would like to use them in their struggles against the forms of power they are trying to resist'.
In disciplines such as rhetorics and narrative theory, macro-structures may constitute the semantic basis for specific categories and rules'.

 Web of lies? Historical knowledge on the Internet
This disambiguation problem is one of the thorniest issues of information retrieval and data mining in computer science.
Despite the importance of the disambiguation problem, it is not a problem of the quality of historical information on the Web but rather of the sophistication of the tools—like H-Bot—for mining that information.
They prefer to view their discipline as an art or a craft rather than a science and they believe that the best historians look at “everything” and then reflect on what they have read rather than, for example, systematically sampling sources in the manner of a sociologist.

 Using Filters for the Disambiguation of Context-free Grammars - Klint, Visser (ResearchIndex)
For conciseness, ambiguous contextfree grammars are frequently used to define even completely unambiguous languages and numerous disambiguation methods exist for specifying which interpretation is the intended one for each sentence.
The existing methods can be divided in `parser specific' methods that describe how some parsing technique deals with ambiguous sentences and `logical' methods...

This activity falls under the general umbrella of "content analysis." Investigating the discipline I found a wide range of methodologies and applications that could be useful.
It appears to do an excellent job of "disambiguation", of the different senses and meanings of a word.
I was particularly drawn to it's concept of categories and the fact that it has been developed "for social-science content-analysis applications" as opposed to basic text classification.

 SPT v8n2: Great Uncertainty About Small Things by Sven Ove Hansson Royal Institute of Technology
The tools developed in that discipline cannot be used when so little is known about the possible dangers that no meaningful probability assessments are possible.
I will use the term mere possibility argument (MPA) to denote an argument in which a conclusion is drawn from the mere possibility that the choice of an option, behaviour, or course of action may lead to, or be followed by, certain consequences.
Although the disambiguation (and probabilistic reconstruction) of MPAs is an important form or argumentation, the focus of the present article is on argumentation that remains on the level of mere possibilities.

 Soft_computing
Soft computing attempts to solve the class of computationally hard problems that do not seem to lend themselves well for classical algorithmic approaches, whereas humans are particularly adept at solving them.
Processing of linguistic information such as summarization and disambiguation, processing of pictorial information such as recognizing faces in a crowd or tumors in a mammogram, filtering information from textual and pictirial databases, analogical reasoning, generalization from examples, theorem proving, are some disciplines where an investment in soft computing is expected to yield rich dividends.
As the underlying principles of soft computing are being understood, it is becoming clear that the ideas associated with this discipline are indeed powerful enough to solve computationally hard problems that are traditionally handled by conventional algorithmic (non-soft) techniques.

Conditions of textual production and reception are changing in profound ways throughout the culture, not just within the scholastic world, and while the concept of academic discipline confers the benefit of focus it may also mask important patterns of connection and consequence.
I am taking his remark out of context for a particular reason: to illustrate how much better we may be served by theories that are strongly grounded in application.
If we hew to our agendas, especially our commitment to practicing what we teach, we may prove in the long run to be the heart and future of the humanities.

 Journal Descriptor (JD) Indexing
Citation counts for a discipline reflect not only the number of journals indexed in a discipline, but also frequency of publication and number of articles per issue of such journals.
Word counts for a discipline reflect in addition the length of titles and number and length of abstracts keyed in per indexed journal.
ST indexing is being investigated as an approach to resolving disambiguation for the MetaMap project.

 PREFACE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
All too frequently a few allusions to neighbouring disciplines like history or anthropology in the introduction seem to be the extent of the inter-disciplinarity in treatments which follow the most traditional methodology.
The disambiguation process is described in sufficient detail to convince any reader of its theoretical justification, as well as facilitating similar work on different texts, or replicating the work done for this study.
The statistical analysis is a model of how to apply this technique to complex data while respecting both their intrinsic linguistic characteristics and their distributional properties.
