People have been trying to classify and organize information for thousands of years. There are many examples of cataloged items in ancient repositories, including items in the Library of Alexandria in Egypt. Taxonomy arose as an attempt to organize inform
The British Classification Society exists to encourage the co-operation and exchange of views and information among those interested in principles and practice of classification in any discipline where they are used. Its membership includes anthropologists, archaeologists, astronomers, biologists, chemists, computer scientists, forensic scientists, geologists, information specialists, librarians, psychologists, soil scientists and statisticians. The Society organises meetings, some by itself, but often jointly with societies representing application areas for classification.
The New Opportunities Made Possible Through Ease of Access to Scholarly and Research Data and Information
Summary: The ever-greater online availability of data and information is tending to what we might characterize as syntactic completeness. That is to say, we have an ever-better knowledge of all possible data and ensuing information in the particular domain of scholarly research. In this position statement, we note how the mathematical and computational modelling of data and information are crucial for semantic completeness. Use of data and information implies a well-elaborated understanding of both their syntax and their semantics. More transparent and hence better quality evaluation of both product and process is made possible.
The Cataloger's Reference Shelf is based on 21 MARC manuals and other reference works published by The Library of Congress and frequently accessed by technical services staff. A must see for catalogers!
