ARHIVI I NJIHOVA ISKUSTVA S USPOSTAVOM SISTEMA ZA OPIS SADRŽAJA
ARCHIVES AND THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR CONTENT DESCRIPTION

Summary/Abstract: For a long time, there was the belief in archival theory and practice that it is enough to access archival records on the basis of provenance, and not on the basis of more detailed description of archival records and defining the subject headings and descriptors. Such a belief stems from the fact that the archives store extremely large quantities of archival records, which prevents the detailed description of preserved archival records on the level of item as well as the creation of subject headings. Determining of subject headings stems from the needs of users in order to be able to search for archival material in terms of content, and not just on the basis of provenance, as it presents a big problem for users. In the article, the author will discuss the previous experience in the construction of systems for the content description in the archives, and will present some possible solutions in the mentioned field.
