    Just type your subject into the search of any well developed directory and you will get topic suggestions. I don't know of any automated system however.

    What I am saying is not just a subject. Suggestion is made for website content.
    Did anyone hear about anything like that?
    and
    Would it be interesting to have such WD?

    It would be a nice feature for some directory scripts to have. But I don't know a script that have this option.

    Interesting idea but I don't see how a script could recognize the website category/genre just by reading the url. I can't figure them out without actually going to the site and looking at them most of the time.

    It will be an interesting feature to have but I would not 'automate this'. Most directories already have a search field and that can be used if directory has listings in all categories.

    The concept of human-editor is still useful because algorithms can't classify content well yet. A lot of people are working on such clustering algorithms, so we might see these things in a couple of years :)

    This is all research papers. They do provide the front line in the field, I know this and aware of them.
    But do you know anything existing which can be easily tested.
