The bibliographic universe has radically changed in a short time; the major innovations, mainly related to the digital environment, have had consequences in terms of terminology. This contribution offers an analysis of three specific international cataloguing terms: document, resource, and item. The terms document and resource constitute an example of terminological evolution; item, introduced in cataloguing by FRBR as the fourth entity of Group I, highlights the difficulties of transposition from one linguistic system to another, and the multiple terminological meanings linked to different disciplinary contexts.

The traditional approach to cataloguing has always been based on the investigation of the characteristics of the objects in collections that are most relevant to the construction of catalogues. The evolution of cataloguing theory has therefore led to the identification and analysis of entities with those characteristics and to the construction of a logical model capable of explaining bibliographic phenomena in an increasingly refined manner. That approach also led to the definition of RiCCM and CIDOC-CRM models. In addition to this valid point of view, a second perspective is proposed, which takes into account the entities identified in the logical models developed in the library, archive and museum models as part of the much larger, richer and more numerous ontologies of the semantic web, represented by the Linked Open Data Cloud. In this perspective, the logical models of libraries, archives, and museums can be seen as some of the possible infinite modelling of web entities, constructed in the light of the principles and tradition of each subject area. This new perspective helps to better clarify the role of data professionals, the concept of metadata, the characteristics of logical models and to take a unified view of the bibliographic, archival and museum universes.
传统的编目方法一直是基于对馆藏对象特征的调查,这些特征与编目的构建最相关。因此,编目理论的演变导致了对具有这些特征的实体的识别和分析,并导致了能够以越来越精细的方式解释书目现象的逻辑模型的构建。这种方法也导致了RiCCM和CIDOC-CRM模型的定义。除了这个有效的观点之外,本文还提出了第二种观点,该观点考虑到图书馆、档案馆和博物馆模型中开发的逻辑模型中识别的实体,这些实体是由关联开放数据云(Linked Open Data Cloud)代表的更大、更丰富、数量更多的语义网本体的一部分。从这个角度来看,图书馆、档案馆和博物馆的逻辑模型可以被看作是网络实体的一些可能的无限建模,它们是根据每个学科领域的原则和传统构建的。这种新的视角有助于更好地澄清数据专业人员的角色、元数据的概念、逻辑模型的特征,并对书目、档案和博物馆的宇宙有一个统一的看法。

Through the study and analysis of a precise economic sector, that of agribusiness, this contribution attempts to elaborate a replicable conceptual model that, in compliance with scientific methodologies, can contribute to the development of current archives, which will later be historical, capable of managing traceable and secure digital flows. In that absolute semantic individuality that characterizes each documentary complex, subject to "rules" of treatment only by productive affinities and common provenance characteristics, the application of standards has been a matter of discussion for the scientific literature. The example from which we wish to move concerns a specific category of Software Packages (LIMS) that are currently used in Italy by analytical laboratories and that implement integrated management of multiple data and processes.

The article deals with the themes of integration between the different cataloguing and disciplinary descriptive traditions. It initially evaluates the transition phase from methods to established practices up to the new solicitations caused by the transformations of information production models. Lastly, the paper focus on the theme of the reconceptualization of domain languages to move on to outline the concept of metacataloguing as a possible descriptive synthesis.

Since many years libraries, archives and museums, the institutions entrusted with the dissemination and conservation of cultural heritage, contributed to metada standards definition, meta-dating methodologies and metadata representation in different syntaxes, by partecipating to national projects and international initiatives.Management systems and catalogs used in these contexts borrow from information and telecommunication technology tools, metodoligies and techniques to generate, organize, share and use various types of metadata. But the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) area is not only a supplier of technological tools and solutions as it also constitutes a rich basin in which metadata plays a fundamental role in designing architectures, modeling information systems and implementing services.Through an overview that includes national and European initiatives, especially in the digital transformation process of the public sector, this paper aims to offer a look to metadata beyond the traditional boundary of libraries and other cultural institutions and to underline some relevant aspects such as standardization, sharing, reuse and metadata quality assessment.This framework highlights the need to carry on with the path of cooperation between different functional domains and organizational contexts in order to consolidate and extend the (re)use of metadata schemes, ontologies and controlled vocabularies both in the redesign of digitized processes and in the implementation of services supporting them. By undertaking since design early stages a multidisciplinary approach based on metadata standards can ensure greater flexibility and higher interoperability. This vision requires the enhancement of intersectorial skills that meld metadata methodologies and syntaxes representation basic knowledge with the ability to model functional domains using metadata schemes and ontologies.

By anchoring the title to a cultural context, it is possible that a universally valid title form (uniform title) does not exist or exist; the form used at the national or regional level is a form commonly used in that or those countries, that is, in a local or national context, not a global one. The concept of preferred title goes beyond, relativizing it, the cataloging model, considered an absolute time for every reality; it is acknowledged that what is valid for a specific cultural and linguistic context does not necessarily apply to the international context. The dissimilar historical behavior is exemplified by two examples: “One Thousand and One Nights”, and “The Chanson de Roland”.

The article outlines the document production process in some Italian research institutions and compares it to the same pre-pandemic time span by analyzing whether or not the work organization models that have been adopted have had an impact on the completion time of administrative procedures. The aim was to verify the trend of the performance indicators after the pandemic impact and how the absence of employees at work may have influenced the organizational models. Within specific administrative realities, human relationship is often a pillar to carry out activities correctly. The transition to the management of remote procedures carried out totally in digital form caused inevitably important consequences on the expected results.

In bibliographic and authority data of materials in Japanese, it is necessary to represent kanji (Chinese characters) and its reading as a pair. Readings, called “yomi” in Japanese, are represented in katakana or the alphabet (romanization form). The readings in Japanese language have many variations depending on the context, so Japanese bibliographic information needs to provide both kanji and its reading as a pair to avoid misunderstandings.The JAPAN/MARC is a machine readable version of the Japanese National Bibliography and provides sets of kanji, katakana-yomi and romaji-yomi (romanization form) of bibliographic and authority data. This paper introduces how readings of bibliographic and authority data in Japanese have been expressed and handled mainly in JAPAN/MARC, compared with international standards.

In recent years, academics with different professional formation other than Information Sciences have been involved in research related to metric studies using approaches and techniques based on bibliometrics; however, these professionals do not have knowledge and necessary competences for conduct metric information studies in a rigorous and methodical way. This article aims to find what are methods and tools used by bibliometrics researchers through a descriptive and textual analysis, using methods such as word co-occurrence in bibliographical data extracted from scientific articles indexing in Web of Science, research area "Library & Information Science." We find most frequently software and tools used in bibliometrics have four levels for data treatment: recovery, preparation, processing and analysis, visualization; and use different methods analysis: networks social, geospatial, thematic, temporal, bibliographic coupling, among others.

This paper aims to give a new definition of the word “Archives” as a result of an accurate survey of doctrinal orientations on this specific subject, analyzing - word by word – each particular lemma which makes up the new proposal. Even though there is no definition that is valid in every context, but archival theory seems to suffer largely from a heterogeneous vision, downstream of a rigorous scientific journey, but dense of conceptual and lexical unexpected contingencies. Each term - with meanings and contexts - does not constitute a simple signifier, but refers to a specific baggage of every disciplinary and cultural tradition. For these reasons, we will attempt to provide an overview of the definitions of archives, from the particular to the general.
