On the approaches to the clasification of computer-aided collection of information resurces

Two approaches taken to classifying the computer-aided collections of information resource: one — according to specialization (structure of metadata, specialization level, resource volume) and the other — in terms of belonging to the “knowledge base” category (presence/lack of relationships between the elements of a subject area and/or the interpretation functions) are presented. Examples illustrating both of the approaches are cited. The problems with the creation of strictly specialized computer-aided collections are considered.
