More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The rationale for cataloging and indexing of electronic information is much the same as for print materials. Cataloging and indexing provide a surrogate for the item, which facilitates resource discovery and access. But, what has changed in the electronic information environment is the terminology. In the Internet environment, the terms cataloging and indexing have been replaced with the term “metadata.” Metadata is often defined as “data about data” or “information about information.” The term, which originated with the data and computer science communities, is now in general use for the cataloging and indexing of electronic information sources
