Bibliography and documentation have been scientifically consolidated throughout the 20th century, mainly reflecting the work developed by Paul Otlet in the context of the International Bibliography Institute. The present research seeks to recover the work carried out by the German librarian Julius Otto Kaiser who, in developing a specialized indexing form, contributed to the constitution of a theoretical-methodological framework both from the point of view of bibliography and documentation. The objective here proposed was to highlight the aspects that can make Kaiser an important theoretical reference for the areas of bibliography and documentation. The methodological procedures were supported by a comparative analysis between the works of Kaiser and Otlet, under the pragmatic perspective of William James. The results point to important convergences between Kaiser and Otlet regarding the subject analysis of documents and their function in the documentation context. It concludes that the Kaiser’s indexing deserves to be studied as a theoreticalmethodological reference for bibliography and documentation studies.Downloads
