TL;DR: An underlying classification system, together with an associated cataloguing system, appropriate for object libraries, is proposed, which aims to provide an efficient and effective method of locating previously written classes.
Abstract: Reusable object classes are seen as a major benefit of adopting the object-oriented paradigm in the commercial data processing and applications programming worlds. However, without some efficient and effective method of locating previously written classes, this benefit of reuse will be lost. Code location requires the classes to be stored in some retrievable fashion. Such an underlying classification system, together with an associated cataloguing system, appropriate for object libraries, is proposed.

TL;DR: Ranganathan's relevance for today is enhanced by a consideration of the political contexts and contradictions in his work as mentioned in this paper, and the potential to spread mass self-education across India was lost through Ranganathan' simultaneous reliance on the state to deliver social reforms from above.
Abstract: Ranganathan's relevance for today is enhanced by a consideration of the political contexts and contradictions in his work. Identification with the Indian independence movement was central to his library theory. Ranganathan's pioneering work of the 1930s challenged the ideological structures of colonial rule, advocating libraries and librarians as agents of a national political awakening, especially amongst the rural poor. In doing so, Ranganathan laid claim to be the heir of the Enlightenment 'universal library' and even suggests the possible role of libraries in creating 'organic' intellectuals amongst the poor. However, the potential to spread mass self-education across India was lost through Ranganathan's simultaneous reliance on the state to deliver social reforms from above. This contradictory approach caused theoretical problems for him following Indian independence. Ranganathan saw the new state as the embodiment of the people, and yet the government did not deliver the scale of library dev...

TL;DR: It is concluded that RDA is adescriptive catalogue code with metadata structure with added scope and advantages over AACR-2R but with mixed professional reaction on its adoption.
Abstract: This paper discusses that cataloguing continues to be basic tool of knowledge organisation whichhas taken over even the function of classification bringing together similar ideas accessible on multiplepoints. It traces the history of cataloguing and individual contributions made by Panizzi, Lubetzky, Cutter,and Ranganathan who laid the foundation for modern cataloguing. It discusses the background ofResource Description and Access (RDA) code as development over AACR-2. The conceptual model of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) along with its new terminology and basicprinciple of entity-relationship have been explained. While discussing new features of RDA, it has alsobeen compared with AACR-2 to show the main difference between the two. It concludes that RDA is adescriptive catalogue code with metadata structure with added scope and advantages over AACR-2R but with mixed professional reaction on its adoption. http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/djlit.33.5007

TL;DR: A survey has been undertaken to identify the syntactic and semantic features of bibliographic elements on the verso of title pages to develop heuristics which can help in developing a program to automatically identify the various bibliogaphic data elements.
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to capture bibliographic data from the verso of the title pages of documents. A survey has been undertaken to identify the syntactic and semantic features of bibliographic elements on the verso of title pages. These features include the font size, line numbers and appearence of certain string of characters. Emphasis is given to the study of “cataloguing‐in‐publication” data. The results of the survey are used to develop heuristics which can help in developing a program to automatically identify the various bibliogaphic data elements. The back of the title pages are scanned and stored as HTML pages using optical recognition software. The heuristics are then applied on the HTML pages. Few samples of input and the output generated are presented. Finally, the problems related to OCR and the heuristics are enumerated.
