Abstract

This paper is an attempt to develop some concepts and objectives to use as theoretical basis for the descriptive cataloging of pictures. Although the basic objectives to be met when describing books and pictures are similar, the means used to achieve these objectives may be different. The purpose of developing a theoretical basis for picture cataloging is to provide the reader with the means of evaluating, adapting, and applying presently existing codes and formats, or for devising new codes and formats; this paper does not attempt to construct an actual code, nor to present methodical evaluations of present practices.

Abstract

This paper suggests a theoretical basis for identifying and classifying the kinds of subjects a picture may have, using previously developed principles of cataloging and classification, and concepts taken from the philosophy of art, from meaning in language, and from visual perception. The purpose of developing this theoretical basis is to provide the reader with a means for evaluating, adapting, and applying presently existing indexing languages, or for devising new languages for pictorial materials; this paper does not attempt to invent or prescribe a particular indexing language.
