Now that we've discussed the intellectual foundations for organizing systems - description, classification, vocabulary control, relations, and so on ... we can apply them to a range of domains in which organizing systems are created.  We'll see the issues and principles that are shared by these domains, and those that distinguish or are characteristic of them.

In this lecture we'll cover the "classicial" or "core' domains of library and information science -- libraries, archives, and museums --  and then move into other domains to discuss organizing systems in scientific, business, and personal contexts.
