Cataloging & Classification

Last updated Jan 16, 2022

• Tagging is very useful, but the lack of control and meaning breaks things down fast
• A controlled term is worth a thousand tags
• Classification is where things go; either on a shelf or in a computer system and so on
• Cataloging is what we call things; the subject headings, aliases or tags
