The mathematical foundations of bibliographic organization

Thomas Minder · American Documentation · 1960

A relation between elements of bibliographic organization exists just as a relationship exists between elements in mathematics. Knowledge and information are explained in mathematical terms. The properties of bibliographic organization and mathematics are combined to indicate that bibliographic organization is a form of mathematics.
