Information Lifecycle

Me from memory:

Create it
Collect it from elsewhere
Store it
Organize it into hiercharchies
Tag it with taxonomies, fixed vocabularies, folksonomies
Make it accessible
Make it discoverable
Keep it up to date
Keep only the best versions available
Reevaluate it
Discard it

How do you decide what goes into the collection, or when to take something out of it? Collection development process.

collecting, preserving, organizing (arranging), representing (describing), selecting (retrieving), reproducing (copying), and disseminating documents

"Bibliography" was the term used for that set of techniques in the article. That term was being discarded (it was only focused on describing documents) in favor of documentation (verb/field of study not product-noun).
