Integrative analysis of national bibliographies is relevant for the cataloging of digital resources, special collections and archives, with implications for international cataloging.
Utilization of the available classification and subject analyses, as well as development of enhanced techniques for these purposes are essential components in this work. The implementation of this work has relied on scalable cleanup and mapping of geographical information, hence maps and other cartographic and spatial materials.
Our work highlights specific bottlenecks and shortcomings in the available cataloging and classification information, and can therefore provide relevant information for education, training, and management of cataloguing. Finally, we demonstrate how bibliographic catalog records can be used as a digital research resource, rather than a mere information retrieval tool.
