This fourth edition provides an updated look at information
organization, featuring coverage of the Semantic Web, linked data,
and EAC-CPF; new metadata models such as IFLA-LRM and RiC; and new
perspectives on RDA and its implementation. This latest edition of
The Organization of Information is a key resource for anyone in the
beginning stages of their LIS career as well as longstanding
professionals and paraprofessionals seeking accurate, clear, and
up-to-date guidance on information organization activities across
the discipline. The book begins with a historical look at
information organization methods, covering libraries, archives,
museums, and online settings. It then addresses the types of
retrieval tools used throughout the discipline-catalogs, finding
aids, indexes, bibliographies, and search engines-before describing
the functionality of systems, explaining the basic principles of
system design, and defining how they affect information
organization. The principles and functionality of metadata is next,
with coverage of the types, functions, tools, and models
(particularly FRBR, IFLA-LRM, RDF) and how encoding works for use
and sharing-for example, MARC, XML schemas, and linked data
approaches. The latter portion of the resource describes specific
activities related to the creation of metadata for resources. These
chapters offer an overview of the major issues, challenges, and
standards used in the information professions, addressing topics
such as resource description (including standards found in RDA,
DACS, and CCO), access points, authority control, subject analysis,
controlled vocabularies-notably LCSH, MeSH, Sears, and AAT-and
categorization systems such as DDC and LCC. Provides an essential
overview of information organization-a central activity in library
and information science-that describes approaches to organizing in
libraries, archives, museums, online settings, indexing services,
and other environments Newly revised and updated to reflect changes
in cataloging rules, address new standards, and introduce upcoming
changes Expands the scope of content relating to information
organization in non-library settings Features vocabulary and
acronym lists at the end of each chapter to help readers stay
abreast of new terminology
