Paper presented at the 1995 Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Illinois University at Urbana-Champaign, 10-12 April 1995. Discusses the problems encountered when applying traditional library cataloguing techniques, such as AACR and USMARC, to the cataloguing of geographic information systems and `planetospatial data' in digital form. Drawing on experience gained in cataloguing resources for Project Alexandria, one of 6 projects funded by the National Science Foundation's Digital Library Initiative and in the development of the Alexandria Metadata Schema, identifies several problem areas that need to be resolved in order to produce good cataloguing records. These include problems of: physical description, especially in MARC Field 300 and 300 and the way this field relates to the file characteristics area (256) and mathematical data (255); production versus publication; merging another standard (Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata with USMARC); multilevel description; where the cataloguing starts and stops in digital data; subject headings; bounding coordinates; and time.
