Abstract:
Increased Research and Development activities in all subject areas initiated massive growth
of literature and the advent of Internet provided further impetus to the process. Open nature
of Internet served as platform for people to share/ publish their ideas. This condition led to
the chaotic state of web. The main reason behind it was the unorganized heap of information
in the form of web documents. So, the need of the hour is cataloguing the web, thereby
providing appropriate surrogate to locate the relevant piece of information. This paper
discusses the need of web cataloguing and the important issues therein.
