The mathematical foundations of bibliographic organization

Thomas Minder

American Documentation, 1960, vol. 11, issue 1, 2-8

Abstract: Knowledge, information, and bibliographic organization have mathematic properties of 1‐1 correspondence, infinity, countability, density, and continuity. 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.
