Abstract

Since the 1950s the Library of the Université Laval in Quebec has devoted a great deal of effort to its subject headings list, the Répertoire de vedettes-matière (RVM), an adaptation of LCSH. Sources from specialised thesauri such as MeSH and Art and Architecture (AAT) supplement the headings. Provides a brief historical overview of the RVM and describes the methodology for integrating AAT descriptions into RVM

Abstract

Part 1 of a 2-part article. Describes the history of the Répertoire de vedettes-matière (Subject Headings Index) which was designed to meet the needs of Laval University Library but is used by many other institutions and is recognized as a Canadian standard by the National Library of Canada. It has supported the creation of a union catalogue which is used outside Canada, especially by the Bibliothèque Nationale in France, which conforms its status and guarantees its continued role in the standardization of subject headings used in the French-speaking world

Abstract

A discussion of the problems of creating a natural language list of descriptors for indexing general collections, based on the experience with French terminology by a Swiss library network. The basic principle which emerged from discussion of the candidate terms proposed by subject specialists for adoption by the working group was the necessity for accepting the inevitability of compromise (the requirements of one particular collection do not necessarily apply in other contexts). Ultimately subject headings are only an approximation of the concepts to which they refer the end purpose is essentially practical - assessing documents, not defining reality

Abstract

The Cinémathèque, founded in 1963, houses a film collection of some 27.000 items. The manual catalogue had long proved inadequate, and in 1989 computerization was put in hand, on a very limited budget. The initial choice of US software (STAR) in the absence of a suitable French-language program, resulted in a succession of problems, because of the necessity of adapting STAR for French and the lack of finance to buy in specialist expertise. Describes how staff developed database structures, subject headings, and cataloguing rules. It is hoped to complete the project by the end of 1993

Abstract

Account of the preliminary stages in the Bibliothèque National project to produce data from the national bibliography, the Bibliographie de France, on CD-ROM. The pilot disc was produced in collaboration with the British Library, using software developed by Online Computers, and tested out in 60 establishments in 1988. Results of this experiment showed up problems in installation, and user dissatisfaction with the indexing system, formats, headings, and instruction manual. Overall, however, user feedback indicated a good market for CD-ROM, as a complement to other sources of bibliographical data. The 1st full edition, with 380.000 records covering 1975-89, was produced in May 89, and a 2nd edition is scheduled for Oct 89. Discussions are currently in hand to develop European standards for CD-ROM, to be used by all national libraries.

Abstract

The encyclopedic indexing system RAMEAU is used in bibliographic records derived from BN-OPALE and Electre, the chief sources in France, and hence by an increasing number of libraries. Because it is designed to cover all subjects for all types of users, RAMEAU is complex, with numerous strict rules. This has led to criticism but if used systematically with appropriate software, it produces a high retrieval rate. The central principle is the distinction between authorities and subject headings, making it essential to create links between the two by including rejected and related terms. This is time consuming and produces better results than systems based on, for example, linguistic analysis

Abstract

Contribution to the ongoing debate on the French subject headings list RAMEAU, which has been much criticised as time consuming and inflexible. Proposed technical solutions to recurring problems with complex syntax, strucutre of hierarchical and associative links, and rigity of language are discussed, in the context of computerised cataloguing and retrieval using OPACs. As a universal indexing language RAMEAU is more appropriate for medium sized specialised libraries and specialist researchers. However the 2 possible subject indexing techniques, linguistic treatment of whole text and thesaurus, are now beginning to be viewed as complementary approaches

Abstract

Developed to meet the needs of the library at the Université Laval, the Répertoire de Vedettes-matière is used by many institutions and is recognized as the Canadian standard by the National Library of Canada. The Répertoire also supported the creation of a union catalogue network and its use in libraries abroad, especially the Bibliothèque Nationale in France, confirms, this status and guarantees its continuing role in the increasing standardization of subject headings used in the French-speaking world. Concludes the history of the Répertoire and the major events that shaped its progress

Rez. in: KO 33(2006) no.2, S. 120-121 (S. Ducheyne): "To the readers of this journal the founding founder of bibliography and information science, the Belgian Paul Otlet (1868-1944), ground-layer of the Universal Decimal Classification, anticipator of multimedia, virtual libraries, and the Internet, and co-inventor of the microfilm or, as it was originally called, "le Bibliophote" (p. 107) (an achievement he shares together with Robert Goldschmidt), scarcely needs introduction. Françoise Levie's new biography of Otlet embodies the research she has started with the production of the documentary of the same name (Sofidoc, 2002, 60 min.). It is impossible to give a chapter-bychapter overview of this informatively dense and beautifully illustrated book, which consists of twenty chapters, a concluding piece by Benoît Peeters, a very useful list and description of the pivotal figures in Otlet's life, and a list containing the locations of the sources consulted (an index is, unfortunately, not provided). I will therefore restrict myself by pointing to Levie's innovative contributions to our knowledge of Otlet and to topics that are of genuine interest to the readers of this journal. Levie's book is the result of a fascinating, worldwide quest into the remains of Otlet's work and his international connections. Ever since W Boyd Rayward's monumental 1975 The Universe of Information: The Work of Paul Otlet for Documentation and International Organization (Moscow: VINITI), this book is the second systematic survey of the Collections of the Mundaneum (now, after various peregrinations, preserved at Bergen/Mons, Belgium) (cf. pp. 339-340), which contains Otlet's private documents, the "Otletaneum". Sixty-eight unopened banana boxes were the main source of inspirations for Levie's research. Of special interest in this respect is Levie's discovery of Otlet's 1916 diary "le Cahier Blue". As these boxes were, at the time Levie conducted her research, not classified and as they were thereafter re-divided and re-classified, precise references to this collection are not provided and the text is simply quoted during the course of the book (p. 339). While this is perfectly understandable, I would have welcomed exact references to Otlet's main works such as, for instance, Traité de documentation and Monde, Essai d'universalisme which are also quoted without supplying further details.
Levie's focus is not exclusively on Otlet's contributions to bibliography and information science per se, but aims at offering a very complete, chronological overview of the life and work of Paul Otlet. Levie succeeds very well at documenting Otlet's personal and familial life, and offers ample socio-historical and political contextualisation of Otlet's activities (e.g. the interaction between Otlet's internationalist endeavours and the expansionist politics of King Leopold II (p. 59), and Otlet's ardent pacifism during World War I are relevantly highlighted (pp. 161176)). Levie begins by exploring Otlet's childhood days and by bringing into perspective some of the traits which are relevant to understand his later work. She shows how his father Edouard, an internationally active railway contractor, awoke a mondial awareness in the young Otlet (pp. 20-21) and how his encyclopaedic spirit for the first time found expression in a systematic inventory of the small Mediterranean isle his father bought (L'île du Levant, 1882) (p. 31). From the age of 16 Otlet suffered from a disorder of his literal memory (Otlet's personal testimony in the Cahier Blue, on p. 47), which might perhaps explain his lifelong obsession with completeness and accuracy. Of special interest to the readers of this journal are chapter 4, in which Otlet's and Henri Lafontaine's adaptation of Melvil Dewey's Decimal Classification and the origin of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) is discussed in extenso (pp. 5170; also see chapter 6, p. 98 for Otlet's attempt at a universal iconographical index) and chapter 17, in which Traité de documentation (1934) is presented

Abstract

Die Welt der Dokumentation ist in den letzten Jahren in Bewegung geraten. Neben den Aufgaben der traditionellen Erwerbung, der Erfassung und der Bewahrung der Dokumente sind neue Aktionsfelder auf der Bildfläche erschienen; die Auswertung, die Retrokonversion und die Verbunfkataloge, die Datenbankabfrage und die Abfragemöglichkeiten für Benutzer, die Konzeption der Informationssysteme sowie die Expertenberatung. Neue Berufsfelder sind enstanden: Informationsvermittler und -berater
