Bibliografisine

Bibliografisine is a term used to describe an interdisciplinary field concerned with the creation, organization, description, and analysis of bibliographic information. It focuses on how sources such as books, articles, and digital resources are described, cataloged, indexed, and made discoverable, as well as how researchers interpret bibliographic data.

The field sits at the intersection of library and information science, bibliometrics, and digital humanities. It studies metadata schemas, authority control, bibliographic records, and the relationships among works, expressions, manifestations, and items. It also examines the historical development of catalogs and their role in scholarly communication.

Core standards and concepts include cataloging rules and schemas such as MARC, Dublin Core, FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), and Resource Description and Access (RDA). It also covers identifier systems (ISNI, ORCID, DOI) and subject indexing.

In practice, bibliografisine informs library catalogs, digital repositories, research data management, and publishing workflows. It supports discovery, citation accuracy, bibliometric analysis, and preservation planning. It engages with linked data and semantic web techniques to connect bibliographic resources across platforms.

Challenges include metadata quality, multilingual or culturally specific descriptions, fragmentation of standards, and balancing proprietary versus open data. Proponents emphasize interoperability, openness, and ongoing standardization to improve access to knowledge.
