Objective: This paper analyzes the practice of tagging in blogs that specialize in literature for children and young adults. Methodology: The researchers examined how tagging was used in a number of blogs addressing different aspects of this literature. The researchers studied a series of variables, including the specific location of the tags, the manner in which they were presented and the types of tag that were most frequently used. Results: Tagging was found to be an increasingly common practice in such blogs, where it is used to organize content and recover details from the large quantity of information that blogs generate. The paper also makes a series of recommendations about how to use tags more effectively and favour the visibility of the information in this type of blog.

This paper describes the steps undertaken by the Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB) to standardize criteria for describing and analysing the content of municipal museums' humanities heritage collections. The project began with an initial analysis, which led to a series of proposals based on documentation standards. These proposals were then examined with the museums in various work sessions. The result is a handbook of documentation guidelines and criteria that can be applied in all museums. At the same time, a work plan was made to adopt as a reference a Catalan translation of the Art & Architecture Thesaurus. The Catalan government's Directorate General for Cultural Heritage is responsible for the translation. Finally, the paper analyses the importance of this process of standardization in the context of new challenges for the dissemination of museum heritage online: Europeana and Linked Open Data.

This paper reviews the main issues in the preservation and reuse of research data (including benefits, life cycle, projects and regulations) and identifies the lack of a world register of data banks, repositories and libraries. It describes the creation of a web tool that lists these kinds of data stores and classifies them by field. This tool is called the International Registry on Research Data (ODiSEA) and it describes the number of data stores worldwide and the topics they cover. The registry makes it easier to discover new data sets, which can be recombined from a multidisciplinary perspective to promote innovation and increase returns on science investments.

The paper aims to assess Catalan research into communication in the Spanish context, via a bibliometric analysis of production in scientific journals.
