    Abstract
    Die Welt der Information ist zunehmend vernetzt. Quellen aller Art werden in digitaler Form über das Internet verbreitet. Die inhaltliche Erschließung dieser Quellen durch Schlagwörter bietet dem Nutzer, insbesondere dem Wissenschaftler, einen unentbehrlichen thematischen Zugang zu diesen Quellen. Die "Regeln für den Schlagwortkatalog" (RSWK) sind das maßgebende Regelwerk für die verbale Inhaltserschließung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie sind zugleich in der bibliotheks- und informationswissenschaftlichen Fachwelt kontrovers diskutiert worden. Dennoch fehlt bislang eine wissenschaftliche monographische Darstellung der RSWK. Die Arbeit will einen Beitrag dazu leisten, indem sie die durch dieses Regelwerk bestimmte Indexierungssprache als Zeichensystem in seiner semantischen, syntaktischen und pragmatischen Dimension analysiert. Die theoretische Grundlage der Arbeit bietet die Semiotik von Charles Morris. Ausgehend davon wird der Typus der Indexierungssprache unter zeichentheoretischen Gesichtspunkten dargestellt. Für die konkrete Analyse der RSWK als Schlagwortsprache werden dann zwei auf der internationalen Ebene der bibliothekarischen Wissensorganisation vorgelegte Unternehmungen als Analyseinstrumente herangezogen, nämlich einmal die "Functional requirements for bibliographic records" (FRBR und zum anderen die "Principles underlying subject heading languages" Gestützt auf die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen wird die RSWK als Schlagwortsprache im Hinblick auf ihre theoretische Angemessenheit und Konsistenz untersucht. Die Analyse kennzeichnet die RSWK als synthetische kettenbildende Schlagwortsprache mit ihren drei charakteristischen Ebenen: dem Schlagwort, der Schlagwortkette und dem Indexat als der Gesamtheit der Schlagwortketten. Es werden semiotische Defizite dieser Schlagwortsprache im Hinblick auf ihre Vollständigkeit und Widerspruchsfreiheit aufgezeigt und entsprechende Vorschläge für ihre Weiterentwicklung gewonnen. Weitere Abschnitte widmen sich dann einzelnen Schlagwortkategorien und den durch sie repräsentierten bibliographischen Entitäten: den Körperschaften, den Ereignissen und den Werken.

    Abstract
    After establishing the terminology, shows how the choice of the name of the subject of a document and the rendering of the name in the heading of the specific subject entry can be got by facet analysis based on postulates and principles. After showing that subject headings constitute an artificial language, points out that using facet analysis for subject heading does not amount to using class number. Marks out the area for an objective statistical survey of sought heading for subject entry. Calls on Council for Library Resources Incorporated to provide for this project

    Abstract
    Includes changes to all examples throughout the publication, as approved by MARBI in January 1993. Makes obsolete the second indicator position (non-filing characters) in all of the heading fields except the 130, which is uniform titles. Also new to this edition: definition of 18X heading fields for general, geographic and chronological subdivision headings, plus related 48X and 58X fields... 7XX fields for heading-linking entries... and the control field 003, named the 'control number identifier.' Also eliminates the national-level requirement codes at the field level

    Abstract
    The principle of uniform heading underlies the rules for headings in descriptive cataloging in the American tradition. The rationale and the evolution of the principle are examined and its implications discussed in terms of the history of cataloging codes. The ideal embodied in the principle of uniform heading has been undergoing gradual modification in recent codes and considerably compromised in cataloging practice today.

    Abstract
    The history of the Library of Congress Subject Headings is traced, from its beginnings with the implementation of a dictionary catalog at the Library of Congress in 1898 to the present day. The author describes the most significant changes which have occurred in LCSH policies and practices during the 100-year period. Events noted near the end of the century indicate an increased willingness on the part of' the Library of Congress to involve the larger library community in the creation or revision of subject headings and other decision-making regarding the LCSH system. Finally, the author provides a summary of the other contributions to this collection of essays, a collection which celebrates the "centennial" of the world's most popular library subject heading language

    Abstract
    The MACS (Multilingual access to subjects) project is one of the many projects that are currently exploring solutions to multilingual subject access to online catalogs. Its strategy is to develop a Web based link and search interface through which equivalents between three Subject Heading Languages: SWD/RSWK (Schlagwortnormdatei/Regeln für den Schlagwortkatalog) for German, RAMEAU (Repertoire d'Autorite-Matière Encyclopedique et Alphabetique Unifie) for French and LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings) for English can be created and maintained, and by which users can access online databases in the language of their choice. Factors that have lead to this approach will be examined and the MACS linking strategy will be explained. The trend to using mapping or linking strategies between different controlled vocabularies to create multilingual access challenges the traditional view of the multilingual thesaurus.

    Abstract
    In the last few years projects such as DESIRE, MACS, CrissCross and KoMoHe have demonstrated the benefits as well as the challenges of mapping between controlled vocabularies. Each project has taken a slightly different approach to the definition and implementation of appropriate types of mapping. The mapping types supported by SKOS are slightly different again. In an ideal world, all major databases would be interconnected; all widely used thesauri, classification schemes and subject heading schemes would map to each other; and all of us would use the same basic types of mapping to enable universal interoperability. Or would we? This paper will discuss the feasibility and desirability of agreeing and implementing standardized mapping types.

    Abstract
    Abstracts enable users to judge the relevance of articles, provide a summary and may be a substitute for the original document. Defines abstracts and considers who they are written be according to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and other sources. Distinguishes between indicative and informative abstracts. Informative abstracts are preferred by ANSI and ERIC. Discusses the content and procedures for abstracting, writing style, tests of quality and readability and informativeness. Presents statistics analyzing abstracts from 3 general interest databases and on abstract length and type

    Abstract
    Describes the information explosion and poses the question of whether the explosion is driving an equal and opposite information implosion. Uses 4 criteria to judge whether available information has become better or worse: cost, ease or difficulty of access; variety of sources; and clarity. Concludes that none of these have improved over the last generation

    Abstract
    Recent papers have called attention to discrepancies in the assignment of LCSH. While philosophical arguments can be made that subject analysis, if not a logical impossibility, at least is point-of-view dependent, subject headings continue to be assigned and continue to be useful. The hypothesis advanced in the present project is that to a considerable degree there is a clear-cut right and wrong to LCSH subject heading assignment. To test the hypothesis, it was postulated that the assignment of a subject heading is correct if it is supported by textual warrant (at least 20% of the book being cataloged is on the topic) and is constructed in accordance with the LoC Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings. A sample of 100 books on scientific subjects was used to test the hypothesis
