The public library catalogue has long acted as an important and fundamental medium between users and their information needs. The traditional goals and objectives of the library catalogue are to enable users to search a library's collection to find items pertaining to specific titles, authors, or subjects. Today's library catalogues are competing against powerful alternatives for information di...

The scientific manuscripts of Laennec, among them such important unpublished items as his course in the College de France embracing all of medicine, or a book on pathological anatomy, are now distributed in five libraries in t...

Introduction The catalogue raisonné, or reasoned catalogue, has long been a standard tool for representing large art collections. A typical catalogue raisonné includes images of artworks along with descriptive metadata, commentary, and background information (often a biography of the artist) about the collection. More recently, technological and infrastructural advances (in particular, cheaper ...

We consider the dependence of ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) flux predictions on the choice of galaxy catalogue. We demonstrate that model predictions by Koers & Tinyakov (2009b), based on the so-called KKKST catalogue, are in good agreement with predictions based on the XSCz catalogue, a recently compiled catalogue that contains spectroscopic redshifts for a large fraction of galaxies. T...

An increasing technological effort is spent on integrated representations of document collections and metadata. For instance the emerging XML standard offers opportunities to represent metadata in for, e.g., improving query and navigation support within web-based document collections. Despite this development, most applications of catalogue metaphors on the web ranging from small web site catal...

In the scope of the TELRI concerted action a working group is investigating the formation of a tool catalogue and repository. The idea is similar to that of the ACL Natural Language Software Registry, but the contents should be mostly limited to corpus processing tools available free of cost for research use. The catalogue should also offer a help-line for installing and using the software. The...

A catalogue service facilitates sharing, discovery, retrieval, management of, and access to large volumes of distributed geospatial resources, for example data, services, applications, and their replicas on the Internet. Grid computing provides an infrastructure for effective use of computing, storage, and other resources available online. The Open Geospatial Consortium has proposed a catalogue...
