1.Conduct an Investigation on "The Catalog", [concept, classification, features, advantages and disadvantages, purpose and example]. Remember to always do everything with an active approach towards Automotive Engineering. Catalog Definition
Catalog or Catalogue is a literary device used in poetry and prose to give a list of
things and create a rhetorical effect. Writers use it to make a list of multiple thoughts in a
unified form. However, the poet’s do not add Catalogs randomly, and they are well thought.
The list is deliberately inserted to make the audience enjoy the conventional style of poetry.
Etymologically, Catalog refers to a list.
A data catalog informs customers about that available data sets and metadata around a
topic and assists users in locating it quickly. A data catalog differs from a data dictionary in
its ability for searching and retrieving information.
Data catalogs:
“May have started as little more than repositories for database schema, sometimes
accompanied by business documentation around the database tables and columns.” But,
“instead looking up a table name and reading its description, users can search for business
entities, and then find data sets related to them, so they can quickly perform analysis and
derive insights.”
While business terms, found in a data catalog, can be also found in business glossaries, a
data catalog looks more like a directory. Data catalogs assume users already know or have
easy access to business definitions. Data catalogs self-service capabilities make them
valuable in Business Intelligence.
Features of Catalog
It often involves repetition
Catalog verses can be a list of people, places or ideas.
It can include rhyme or can be a free verse poem.
Catalog Meaning and Function
Catalog or Catalogue provides writers with a tool to portray their feelings, emotions, and
ideas in a logical sequence. The writers use Catalog to assemble multiple things in a series. It
gives them a chance to bring together many things, ideas, and images and present them for
attention in a poem format. Also, the repetition of the words strengthens the importance of
ideas discussed.
Elements of Cataloging and Classification
To "catalog" a book or other form of library material involves several interrelated
processes which all contribute to the achievement of Charles Ammi Cutter's "objects" for a
catalog:
To enable a person to find a book of which the author, title, or subject is known
To show what the library has by a given author, on a given subject, or in a given kind
of literature, and
5) Satisfies the approaches of readers especially in cases for classical languages and for
fiction, drama, poetry and for the class literature
Disadvantages
1) Approaches of readers under subject, collaborators, distinctive titles etc. cannot be
satisfied.
2) Subject entries are limited to personal and corporate names only.
3) There is no title entry in this form of catalogue so also under collaborator and series
However it requires that the reader must know the exact name of the author and title. In
case the author is known by different forms of name or pseudonym, the reader may be
helped with the use of see references.
Additionally, I quote the types of Catalogs of Professor Pedro Ruiz (2021):
Types Traditionally, there are the following types of catalog:
**_- Author catalog: a formal catalog, sorted alphabetically according to the names of authors, editors, illustrators, etc. •Subject catalog: a catalog that sorted based on the Subject.
- Title catalog: a formal catalog, sorted alphabetically according to the article of the entries.
- Dictionary catalog: a catalog in which all entries (author, title, subject, series) are interfiled in a single alphabetical order.
- Keyword catalog: a subject catalog, sorted alphabetically according to some system of keywords. •Mixed alphabetic catalog forms: sometimes, one finds a mixed author / title, or an author / title / keyword catalog._** Classified Catalogue
Classified catalogue provides access to information by subject. It is different from an
alphabetical catalogue in that the arrangement is by class numbers. It brings in artificiality as
the user is expected to be aware of the scheme of classification. To help the user, a classified
catalogue is in two parts, the other part being alphabetical in nature that guides the user in
navigating through the classified part and reaching the desired information.
Definition [Of: Classified Catalogue]
According to Encyclopedia of Librarianship, it is “a catalogue of subject entries arranged
in the systematic order according to a scheme of classification.” Dr. Rangnatham defines it
as, “a catalogue in which some are numbered entries and some are word entries”.
Consequently a classified catalogue consists of two parts (i) the classified part and (ii) the
alphabetical part.
Classified Part [Of: Classified Catalogue]
It is the arrangement of entries of documents by class number that gives the systematic
and structured display of subjects in a classified catalogue. It maps out the subordinate and
coordinate subject divisions and puts them in a logical sequence. This systematic
arrangement to a certain degree reflects the logical thinking of specialists in different
subjects and gets their appreciation.
While displaying the entries in a classified catalogue merely giving the class numbers
would not be very helpful to users of the catalogue. The class numbers are not intelligible to
persons who have no knowledge of the classification scheme chosen for the library.
Therefore, while displaying the class numbers in guide cards, for entries under them, it is
absolutely necessary to give their verbal equivalents of the divisions of class numbers. These
verbal equivalents provided for class numbers in a classified catalogue are known as ‘Feature
Headings’.
Alphabetical Part (D) [Of: Classified Catalogue]
The alphabetical index to a classified catalogue, consisting of author, title( wherever
necessary), subject entries and other entries for collaborators, series, editors of series and a
host of cross references, is meant to support the classified part of the catalogue. It can fulfill
all the functions of a dictionary catalogue i.e. collect the works of an author together, bring
all the different editions of a title, cross reference for subjects, etc. With the classified part
bringing all the related subjects together, and the alphabetical order bringing together all the
distributed relatives, the classified catalogue can fulfill all the functions of a library
catalogue.
Features [Of: Classified Catalogue]
1) It is a subject catalogue where entry is made under the class number which represents
the subject matter of the book.

Anyway, if you want to take a look at a more real and complete Volkswagen catalog, I leave you this link of a catalog of more than 80 pages. “https://store.vwcanarias.com/media/wysiwyg/catalogos/ Full-accessories-catalogue-for-passenger-cars-2019- 2020.pdf” I really recommend it, please take a look.
2. Make a Glossary (With all the abecedary), with focus, the same as the previous one for Automotive Engineering.
In this case, dear reader, the Glossary will be made only of purely automotive
terms. Remember that the following meanings can be several for other contexts. But right
now we’re going to treat them in the automotive area, which is the career that I’m pursuing,
which is Automotive Technology, which we can also call Automotive Engineering.
