Importance of Information Science and Librarianship
Edward Wyndham Hulme was librarian of the British Patent Office. He tried to create a statistical analysis of the history of science. The basis for this work was the journal entries. [4] "Hulme in his work analyzed records from the years 1901-1913 from the 17 sections of the English international catalog of scientific literature. Among other things, he found that in this period most magazines published in Germany, and nearly 30% of world production of magazines. In both of the above studies, however, have been used to achieve results merely bibliographic data not quotation. "[5]
One of the concepts that EW Hulme famous was the "Literary warrant", a term known to many librarians. This concept can be loosely translated as "classification documented in the literature" .This is the "classification scheme developed by relying on existing published documents and not developed on the basis of the arrangement of human knowledge as an abstract whole." [6] According to the LIS (Library and Information Science) "literary warrant" means that the indexer possibly classifier must provide an adequate basis for indexing and sorting (must be secured definitions of indexed terms and their classes within the classification system) literature. Hulmeho principle of "Liter warrant" are among the methods that based on quantified data obtained from bibliographic resources (currently used term metadata). Hulmeho principle of classification consisted of counting the number of repetitive concepts in bibliographic data. [7] The principle of "literary warrant" is among the few basic approaches "Knowledge Organization . "[8]
