Features: This book is one of the core textbooks for information management majors. It systematically elaborates on the theories and methods of describing and organizing information resources. It focuses on the organization of digital information resources. Information resources are one of the most important strategic resources in the knowledge economy era. The level of information resource development and utilization is a significant indicator of a country's economic and social development. The methods of organizing information resources are generally divided into three levels: the current web engines represent the first level of organization. They primarily use subject description languages and classification description languages for organization, with methods that are simple and easy to implement, but the retrieval efficiency is not entirely satisfactory. Describing and organizing information resources using metadata schemes is the second level of organization method. The third level of organization method involves using complex formats (such as ISO2009, GB2091, MARC, etc.), which are used by professionals to describe and organize information resources. This book specifically discusses the organization of multimedia information in network environments, the organization of information in digital libraries and e-commerce, and explores the advanced form of information organization—knowledge organization.
