Debate moderated by Martine Poulain , director of the Libraries collection
The Indexing of materials in transition retraces and explains, 40 years after the creation of the documentary language Rameau, the changing news around the questions of indexing in the world of libraries and the professions of information-documentation. Why reform the Rameau documentary language? What should it be used for? What problems is it supposed to solve? What impacts will it have on library catalogs? How to anticipate future developments, and solve the problems that will arise from them? Based on these current issues on a process still underway, The Indexing material in transitionexplores all the mutations at work around subject indexing: the evolution of bibliographic and authority data, the evolution of interfaces and services, the potential offered.
