Does anyone out there have any information concerning cataloging rules and authority files in regards to cataloging industry specific collections? I maintain two collections, one clipart, another photo, that are specifically dedicated to a Unix based computer company. I can divide my collections by using two types of criteria - 1. subject matter specific - and 2. conceptual The first is relatively easy. The second is more difficult. In my industry there are concepts such as "networking", "rightsizing", "client/server computing" and so forth that can be applied to some but not all of the images in the collection Instead of defining all of these concepts myself, I wonder if there has been any work done creating cross reference indices, or cataloging rules to help create a structured database?Does this make sense to anyone?
You can respond to my address specifically if you wish it is:
