This course is about the introduction to basic concepts, theories, principles, and standards of resource description, subject cataloging, and classification. This provides beginning level experience in organizing printed resources using the Resource Description and Access, including recording attributes of manifestation and item, identifying persons, families, and corporate bodies, and identifying works and expressions, construction of access points and authority data. Lastly, it deals about subject cataloging using the Sears List of Subject Headings and the assigning of classification numbers using the Dewey Decimal Classification Scheme.
Knowledge of the origin and knowledge of types of services rendered by libraries are imperative. Understanding different information resources are also essential. Meanwhile, issues in the use of other people's intellectual materials have to be explained as well, that is copyright and its implications.
At the University of California, Davis, special collections cataloging is mainstreamed within a comprehensive cataloging department. In recent years, bibliographic access has been provided for materials that had been uncataloged and "hidden" for decades. Through cataloging efforts at the local level, original bibliographic records have been added to OCLC WorldCat, the University of California's Melvyl, and the ESTC (English Short Title Catalog). As a result of catalogers' virtual travel beyond the library's walls, hidden collections can be made accessible beyond the library's physical boundaries. Specific examples of calculated online searches, as well as serendipitous discoveries, will be presented within a broader context of providing access to collections "hidden" within the physical walls of a physical library, with the intent of suggesting best practices that could be adapted by other catalogers for other libraries. Elaine Franco is Principal Cataloger for monographs in the Cataloging & Metadata Services Department, UC Davis Library. She currently serves on the Advisory Board of the California Library Association Technical Services Interest Group, is Chair of the ALCTS Affiliate Relations Committee, and is a member of the ALCTS Board of Directors.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Bibliotheca Digitalis Summer School: Bibliographic data – Definition, Structure and Problems (XVIth-XVIIth Centuries) - Patrick Latour
1. Bibliotheca Digitalis
Reconstitution of Early Modern Cultural Networks
From Primary Source to Data
DARIAH / Biblissima Summer School
Le Mans, 4-8 July 2017
Bibliographic data
– Definition, Structure and Problems
(XVIth-XVIIth Centuries)
3rd day, July 6th – Establishing Bibliographic Data
Patrick Latour
Library curator, Bibliothèque Mazarine
4. What ?
• Informations about a special material object : a book
• physical characteristics (support, format, dimensions, extent, etc.)
• date of production
• place of production
• persons and corporate entities involved in the physical production (printers, booksellers etc.)
• Information about an editorial project : a work
• content of the book (title, subject, etc.)
• persons or corporate entities involved in the intellectual production of books (authors,
translators etc.)
• informations intended to distinguish between variants (edition/impression/issue/state,
language, etc.)
• Informations about a specific copy
• copy characteristics (binding, former book owner(s), binding, annotations, etc.)
• localisation (links to catalogues of the libraries where the book is held today with shelfmark,
inventory number, etc.)
5. Why ?
• Identify and distinguish among similar resources ; locate specific
copies.
• Relate variants of a same work, works from a same author (or a same
printer), etc.
• Compile data (entities involved, date, format, etc.) which can be
exploited, linked, re-used, etc.
• Necessity of normalization, interoperability, etc. (référentiels, liens,
etc.)
6. Who and how ?
• Various communities
• Booksellers
• Librarians
• Scholars
• Bibliographers and others
• Many tools closely related
• normative (rules, norms, etc.)
• technical (standards, protocols, models, etc.)
• informative (catalogs, databases, systems of references, etc.)
7. roughly…
Scholars, bibliographers and librarians both describe books but
• it isn’t exactly the same object : for scholars, it’s a reference, for
bibliographers it’s an ideal copy and for the librarian a specific copy
• it isn’t for the same purpose : for scholars, the most important thing is to
reference an idea or a quotation while, for bibliographers it’s to identify work
/ editions (and distinguish it from variants) and for librarian it’s to describe
an object, part of his collection
9. Middle Ages
• Catalogue is – first – a management tool
• inventory
• « summary » of a collection
• Works (identified by title and, possibly, sometimes, author) take precedence over
all. Some of them are absolute references in their field like Bible, Corpus juris civilis
or canonicis and have their own internal references system. There is rare reference
to a specific copy.
• Informations are very succint (in most cases only title, sometimes with specific
characteristic like binding or decoration…)
• Classification isn’t alphabetical but topographical and/or thematic.
10.
11. Until 17th
• No rules for bibliographic description
• Manuscripts and printed books are described together and in the same
way
• Only a few bibliographic data
• author
• title
• date
• extent
• possibly a few physical characteristics (format, binding…)
Still no « real » librarians but scholars and scientists begin to draw up
bibliographies in their fields and, because of increasing of print production,
try to distinguish editions and variants.
12. 17th – 18th
• Better consideration of informations about physical production (printer,
place, etc.).
• Care in the books sales catalogs to describe specific-copy informations
• Progressive adoption of « models » or principles for the struturation and
presentation of the bibliographic data (Bodleian catalog, parisian
booksellers system, Mazarine catalog by Desmarais, Bibliographie instructive
ou Traité des livres rares by De Bure, etc.)
• Libraries catalogs are oftently used as bibliographies (for exemple
Courtanvaux or Paulmy)
13. Focus
Naudé : scholar, bibliographer and librarian
• Gabriel Naudé (1600-1653), librarian for President de Mesme, write his
Advis pour dresser une bibliotheque in 1627. Two years later, he become
librarian for Cardinal Guidi di Bagno at Rome (and in 1641 librarian for
Cardinal Francesco Barberini). From 1643 to 1649, librarian for
Cardinal Mazarin, he build up for him the biggest library at this time
(estimated at 40,000 volumes) from a smaller collection of which he
drawn up the catalog (Bibliothecæ Cordesianæ catalogus).
• Naudé is also a scholar who write essays and bibliographies
(Bibliographia Politica, Bibliographia Militaris, etc.)
14. Advis pour dresser une bibliotheque,
presenté à Monseigneur le President de
Mesme par G. Naudé P., seconde
edition reveue, corrigée & augmentée,
Paris, Rollet Le Duc, 1644
20. 19th
• France
• 1791 : « Instruction pour procéder à la confection du catalogue de chacune des
bibliothèques sur lesquelles les directoires ont dû ou doivent incessamment
apposer des scellés »
• Models or rules by the National Library (Léopold Delisle) : manuscripts (1884),
incunabula (1886), printed books (Catalogue général des livres imprimés de la Bibliothèque
nationale)
• World
• 1841: Panizzi’s rules for a « full and accurate catalog »
• 1876 : Cutter’s Rules for a printed dictionary catalog
At the same time, development of bibliographies (Hahn’s Repertorium
bibliographicum, 1826-1836 ; Brunet ; Quérard, etc.)

23. ISBD (International Standard Bibliographic Description)
It is a set of rules produced by the International Federation of Library Associations
and Institutions (IFLA) from 1971 to create a bibliographic description in a standard,
human-readable form, that could be used to exchange records internationally.
especially for use in a bibliography or a library catalog. This is the standard that
determines the data elements to be recorded or transcribed in a specific
sequence as the basis of the description of the resource being catalogued, whatever
its support or type. From ISBD(G), there are seven different ISBD according the
type :
• monographs: ISBD(M) ;
• serials : ISBD(S) then (CR) for continuing resources ;
• cartographic materials : ISBD(CM) ;
• Printed music : ISBD(PM) ;
• Non-book materials : ISBD(NBM) ;
• older monographic publications : ISBD(A)
• electronic resources : ISBD(CF) puis (ER)
The reference version is ISBD International standard bibliographic description: consolidated
edition (2011).
24. Cataloguing rules and bibliographic description
close and different
• Material object vs intellectual object
• Cataloguing rules are a tool for libraries : they’re suited to identify
and completly describe a book as a physical object, a specific copy,
part of a collection.
• Cataloguing rules are often too complete and complex for a simple
bibliographical description : scholars aren’t librarians…
So…
25. ISO 690
• ISO (reference version : ISO 690 : 2010) is the international
norm which gives guidelines for the preparation of bibliographic
references.
• « It is applicable to bibliographic references and citations to all kinds of information
resources, including but not limited to monographs, serials, contributions, patents,
cartographic materials, electronic information resources (including computer
software and databases), music, recorded sound, prints, photographs, graphic and
audiovisual works, and moving images. »
• ISO 690 specifies the elements to be included in references to published
documents, and the order in which the elements of the reference should be stated.
26. Elements of the reference and order
• name(s) of creator(s)
• Title
• Type of medium
• Edition
• Information about publication (place, publisher and printer)
• Date
• Series title
• Numerotation within the item
• Standard number
• Availability, access or location information
• Additional general information
27. Be careful !
• ISO 690 isn’t a standard for description of ancient bibliographic
data but it’s a good basis to understand/come close to their
structuration.
29. Remember…
• The data used in a reference should, if possible, be taken from the
cited information resource itself.
• Any element in a non-Roman alphabet may be transliterated or
romanized in accordance with the appropriate International
Standard.
• Generally accepted bibliographic or usual terms should be
preserved abbreviated
30. Main problem : lost, hidden and implicit
informations
• Structuration of the source (by format, by date, etc.)
• Ellipsis to avoid repetition (ibidem, eodem, etc.)
• Factorization (especially « recueils » in libraries catalog)
• Language
And above all lack of information ! For example…
32. Most common form
(Creator) + Title+ Place of
publication + Printer / Publisher +
Date + (Format) + (Medium) + (Extent) +
(Binding or Note or other physical characteristics)
33. Creator(s)
• Problems : creator absent, hidden or masqued by the « first » creator ;
pseudonym or form in other language
• « To facilitate identification of a particular information resource, or because
of relevance to the purpose of the citation, the name of any editor,
translator or other person who has collaborated in the production of that
resource may be added after the title with an indication of the role, so
placed in the reference that the relation between that role and the whole or
part of the information resource is clear. » « If a new edition, abridgement
or updated version of an information resource is produced by a new
creator, the name of the first creator should be used if it appears as a
creator in the source ».
34. Title
• Problems : ambiguous, incorrect various or shortened title ;
translated title ; no title but only creator (citation)
For example…
35. Pseudo -Cyrillus, Speculum sapientiae, [Paris] : Georg Mittelhus, [between 1494 and
1500] ([about 1497], 8°
39. Date
• Problems : multiple dates (date of publication, manufacture,
distribution, etc.) ; form of the date (date from a special calendar
system or other than the Christian Era) ; no date (manuscripts and
incunabula) ; sometimes found by inference (“gothique”)
40. Additional general information
• Format
• Language
• Extent
• Specific-copy characteristics
• Binding
• Former owner marks
• Condition
41. Identification
Availability, access or location information & Standard number
• If it’s possible to locate the specific copy described in the source, it’s
necessary to indicate (text) library and shelfmark or to make a link (text
or URI with OPAC).
• If a bibliographic description exist in a database or in a ancient
bibliography, it must be interesting to link (text, standard number or
URI) it.
