Following a broad overview of the concept and its role in human endeavors, Taylor and Joudrey provide a detailed and insightful discussion of such basic retrieval tools as inventories, bibliographies, catalogs, indexes, finding aids, registers, databases, major bibliographic utilities, and other organizing entities. They then trace the development of the organization of recorded information in Western civilization from 2000 B.C.E. to the present. This book is for students and professionals eager to embrace the heritage, immediacy, and future of this fascinating field of study."--BOOK JACKET. 0aInformation organization. 0aMetadata.1 aJoudrey, Daniel N. 0aLibrary and information science text series. aAUTHbTOC f634962o1s50.00tglxu2900B1 a20090303bccvt2130dMPS

MARC CAN’T INTEGRATE OR ENGAGE WITH THE WEB
The Web has changed. It’s Semantic.
Traditional Web
● documents● links between docs ● unstructured data● implicit
relationships● for humans
Semantic Web
● things● links between
things● structured data● explicit
relationships● for machines and
humans
