Abstract

Pristupe sadržajnom označivanju možemo podijeliti na objektivne i subjektivne, gdje je objektivan usmjeren na opis dokumenta, a subjektivan na zadovoljavanje potreba korisnika. Rad proučava ova dva stajališta, koja se često navode i kao komplementarna, kroz usporedbu označivanja beletristike u katalogu Knjižnica grada Zagreba te korisničkog označivanja na najpopularnijoj mreži za društveno katalogiziranje, Goodreads. Budući da katalog koristi slobodno formirane predmetne odrednice kao način osiguravanja pristupa građi kroz pregledavanje (eng. browsing), rad ne proučava klasičnu opreku između kontroliranih i prirodnih jezika koja upotpunjuje dvije paradigme označivanja. Stoga se sadržajno označivanje promatra kroz označivanje prirodnim jezikom, koju karakteriziraju prednosti poput kreativnosti i slobode izražavanja, te nedostatci kao što su nedosljednost i semantička i morfološka nečistoća. Istraživanje proučava označivanje na katalogu te folksonomije djela na društvenoj mreži kroz fokus na strukturu i sadržaj odrednica i oznaka, posebice njihovog žanrovskog određenja, te ih uspoređuje kako bi se došlo do zaključka o sposobnosti stručnjaka da obuhvati cjelovitost sadržaja koji korisnici pronalaze značajnim u djelima.

Abstract (english)

Subject indexing can be studied through two notable paradigms: the objective, which is concerned with the description of documents, and the subjective, which is concerned with fulfilling user needs. This thesis studies these complementary paradigms through a comparative analysis of the subject indexing of fiction on the Zagreb City Libraries Catalog and user tagging on the widely popular social cataloging site, Goodreads. Seeing as the Zagreb City Libraries Catalog provides subject access to fiction indexing through unstandardized subject headings, thus facilitating browsing rather than information retrieval, this thesis does not study the opposition between controlled and uncontrolled vocabularies, which usually complements the objective and the subjective paradigm. Rather, subject indexing is examined through natural language indexing, which is both advantageous in that it encourages creativity and freedom of expression, and disadvantageous for the inconsistency and semantic and morpohological impurity it engenders. The subject headings and user tags are analysed separately with a focus on their structure and content, especially when it comes to the description of genre, and then comparatively in order to reach a conclusion on the capability of expert indexers to envelop the totality of what users find notable in works of fiction.
