Study on Information Organization Approaches for Scientific Manuscripts

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper discusses the definition of manuscripts and scientific manuscripts, summarizes the academic value, literature value and historical value of scientific manuscripts. As scientific manuscripts have characteristics of both literature and archives, their organization could be conducted with organization principles of both library and archives. Therefore, a scientific manuscripts organizing method is designed,which contains six steps from selecting the level of arrangement, assigning unique ID, and classifying category to designing metadata model, determining access points, and cataloging. The whole process makes scientific manuscripts searchable and usable online. At last, the practices of T. D. Lee Archives Online are given as an example to illustrate the organizing approach of scientific manuscripts.

Key words: Scientific manuscripts, Manuscripts organization method, Archive description, Metadata, T. D. Lee Archives Online
