Primes

• Data Structure
  • Libraries and archives. Card catalogs, shelf classifications, and finding aids are data structures over a corpus, privileging search-by-author, browse-by-subject, or trace-the-provenance differently.

    This sourceTreats catalogs, classifications, and finding aids as arrangements over a corpus that privilege particular retrieval operations.

• Linearization-Meaning Mismatch
  • And the multiple-index discipline from libraries — alphabetical-by-author, by-subject, and by-call-number are different consumer-need linearizations — transfers to API documentation, where by-call reference, by-task tutorial, and by-concept guide are all needed.

    This sourceMultiple access points in library cataloging (author, title, subject, call number) as distinct user-need orderings of the same collection.
