Content Organization in the New Millennium is a compilation of papers contributed to the Seminar on 'Content Organization in the New Millennium' (2-4 June 2000). There were nine invited presentations on various aspects of content organization. The rapid developments in and widening range of use of the Internet worldwide is enabling easy access to information and data globally and almost seamlessly. The quantity, range and variety of information - as text, image, graphics, sound, and multimedia - that is accessible is indeed vast. On the other hand, the ease with which almost any data or information can be placed on and disseminated via the Internet is causing problems for information seekers. One of the causes of these problems is the amorphous nature of the information accessed which has only minimal organization. This results in, among other things, retrieving too much information that is Irrelevant to the subject of interest to the user, and, many a time, it is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Recently, information professionals and subject specialists have become concerned with the situation and have experimented with tools, techniques and strategies, and with the use of time-tested classificatory ideas and other knowledge organization tools, such as thesauri, to mitigate the problems. The paper on "Knowledge Management and Content Organization" by L.J. Haravu places the subject of content organization in the broader canvas of knowledge management (KM). Content organization and the tools necessary to aid knowledge discovery, a basic objective of most information seeking activity, is discussed in the paper "Content Organization as an Aid to Knowledge Discovery" by A. Neelameghan. In that paper, the role of statistical, informetric and scientometric techniques are mentioned, but elaborated on by I.K. Ravichandra Rao in his paper "Quantitative Techniques for Content Analysis." HTML forms for web publishing and embedding metadata have been in wide use; but they are being extended or replaced by XML, XSL, etc. for customizing "Data Type Definitions" to enhance retrieval effectiveness. Shalini R. Urs and K.S. Raghavan discuss this aspect of content organization based on the experience of building a database of theses. The variety of factors to be taken into consideration in content organization for Internet-based information services is elaborated by T.B. Rajashekar on the basis of practical experiences at the Indian Institute of Science. S.B. Viswakumar identifies factors that may affect content organization in multimedia databases. Handling the scripts and vocabulary of Indian languages in organizing the contents of databases raises additional problems and issues, and these are being examined in an increasing measure as more and more such databases are being constructed in this country. B.A. Sharada considers some aspects of the problems of preparing databases in Kannada language. The papers by M.A. Gopinath and G. Bhattacharyya deal, respectively, with the training required for and professional aspects of, content organization. Content Organization in the New Millennium is the first publication in the Seminar Series of the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science
