76 question-and-answer cards covering Unit - V as it is examined in UGC NET Law. 24 of them are printed below, taken from across the deck — no signup, no paywall on the preview.
24 sample cards from the Unit - V deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is METS and what is its purpose?
Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard — an XML schema (maintained by LC) for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata of objects within a digital library.
What is MODS and how does it relate to MARC?
Metadata Object Description Schema — an XML descriptive metadata standard (LC) that carries selected MARC 21 data using language-based tags rather than numeric tags; richer than Dublin Core but simpler than full MARC.
What is EAD and what is it used for?
Encoded Archival Description — an XML standard for encoding archival finding aids (descriptions of archives and manuscript collections), maintained by the Library of Congress with the Society of American Archivists.
What is a pre-coordinate indexing system?
An indexing system where index terms are combined/coordinated by the indexer at the input (indexing) stage to form composite subject headings (e.g., chain indexing, PRECIS, subject headings).
What is a post-coordinate indexing system?
A system where single concept terms are stored separately and combined by the searcher at the output (search) stage using Boolean logic (e.g., uniterm, keyword systems).
Distinguish 'assigned' indexing from 'derived' indexing.
Assigned indexing uses terms chosen from a controlled vocabulary applied by the indexer; derived indexing extracts index terms directly from the document text/title (e.g., KWIC/title-based indexing).
What is a title-based derived indexing system? Give an example.
An indexing method that generates index entries automatically from the words of a document's title; examples include KWIC (Keyword in Context) and KWOC (Keyword out of Context).
What is vocabulary control and why is it important?
The use of a controlled, standardized list of terms (with chosen preferred terms and managed synonyms/homonyms) to ensure consistency in indexing and retrieval, improving recall and precision.
Name the three standard equivalence/relationship types displayed in a thesaurus (vocabulary control tool).
Equivalence (USE / UF), Hierarchical (BT broader term / NT narrower term), and Associative (RT related term).
What two devices are used in vocabulary control to handle synonyms and homographs?
Synonyms are controlled with USE/UF (equivalence) references to a single preferred term; homographs (same spelling, different meaning) are distinguished by qualifiers/scope notes.
What is a scope note in a controlled vocabulary?
A note attached to a term that clarifies its intended meaning and restricts its usage within the indexing language to ensure consistent application.
Name the standard for monolingual thesaurus construction guidelines.
ISO 25964 (Thesauri and interoperability with other vocabularies); earlier ISO 2788 (monolingual) and ISO 5964 (multilingual).
In OPAC/catalogue evaluation, what does 'precision' measure?
Precision = the ratio of relevant documents retrieved to the total number of documents retrieved (a measure of retrieval accuracy/quality).
In information retrieval evaluation, what does 'recall' measure?
Recall = the ratio of relevant documents retrieved to the total number of relevant documents in the collection (a measure of retrieval completeness).
What is the typical relationship between recall and precision in retrieval systems?
They are usually inversely related: increasing recall (retrieving more) tends to lower precision, and increasing precision tends to lower recall.
What is a catalogue code and name two functions it serves?
A set of rules for preparing catalogue entries; it ensures (1) consistency/uniformity of records and (2) standardization enabling cooperative and centralized cataloguing and exchange.
What are the four canons for the idea plane that govern choice of characteristics in classification (Ranganathan)?
Canon of Differentiation, Canon of Concomitance, Canon of Relevance, and Canon of Ascertainability.
What is 'notation' in a classification scheme and name two desirable qualities of good notation.
Notation is the system of symbols used to represent classes and their order. Good notation should be brief (short) and mnemonic, as well as hospitable and expressive.
What is hospitality in a classification notation?
The capacity of the notation to accommodate (insert) new subjects in their correct logical place, both in array (coordinate classes) and in chain (subordinate classes), without disturbing existing numbers.
What does Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) exemplify in indexing?
It is a pre-coordinate, controlled-vocabulary subject heading list (an assigned indexing language) maintained by the Library of Congress.
What is the difference between MARC 21 and BIBFRAME in terms of data model?
MARC 21 is a flat, record-based exchange format tied to ISO 2709; BIBFRAME is an RDF linked-data model expressing relationships between Work/Instance/Item entities for the Semantic Web.
What components make up a complete catalogue entry under AACR2/ISBD description?
Heading (access point), bibliographic description (the eight ISBD areas), tracings (added entries), and the call number/location.
What is chain indexing and who developed it?
A pre-coordinate subject indexing technique developed by S. R. Ranganathan that derives subject index entries from the chain of successive subordinate classes of a classification number.
What is the role of the Library Reference Model (LRM) introduced by IFLA in 2017?
It consolidates the earlier FRBR, FRAD, and FRSAD models into a single, harmonized conceptual reference model for bibliographic information, underpinning current RDA.
What this deck covers
The Unit - V deck follows the UGC NET Law Unit - V syllabus — 10 chapters and 37 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 7.6 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 166 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
Unit - V flashcards FAQ
How many Unit - V flashcards are in this UGC NET Law deck?
76 cards. This page previews 24 of them, sampled evenly across the deck so you can judge the difficulty before installing anything.
Are these UGC NET Law flashcards free?
Yes. The preview here is free to read with no signup, and the full 76-card deck is free inside the Examius app.
What do the Unit - V cards cover?
They follow the UGC NET Law Unit - V syllabus — 10 chapters and 37 topics — so the questions track what is actually examinable.
How should I use these flashcards?
Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then drill the deck. Examius schedules each card with spaced repetition, so cards you keep missing come back sooner and ones you know drift further apart.
