Martin Fricke.  The publisher is Springer >
http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+%26+information+retrieval/book/978-1-4614-3087-2

Logic and the Organization of Information closely examines the historical and
contemporary methodologies used to catalogue information objects?books,
ebooks, journals, articles, web pages, images, emails, podcasts and more?in
the digital era. This book provides an in-depth technical background for
digital librarianship, and covers a broad range of theoretical and practical
topics including: classification theory, topic annotation, automatic
clustering, generalized synonymy and concept indexing, distributed libraries,
semantic web ontologies and Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS). It
also analyzes the challenges facing today's information architects, and
outlines a series of techniques for overcoming them. Logic and the Organization
of Information is intended for practitioners and professionals working at a
design level as a reference book for digital librarianship. Advanced-level
students, researchers and academics studying information science, library
science, digital libraries and computer science will also find this book
invaluable.
