ABSTRACT
The challenges of information management have grown immensely. Long discrete assemblages of data and documents that functioned well in their time are now found starkly juxtaposed in today's boundless and chaotic digital environment. Mechanisms to control the scholarly subset of this information now appear antiquated when compared to resources designed with the Web in mind. Traditional bibliographic structures in particular arc at a disadvantage. These and many other resources manage to maintain their coherence only in isolation-silos of organization containing fodder to frustrate federated searching.
