Abstract
The paper considers possible model of the search in catalogs of modern libraries. The model is based on the analysis of the results of experimental search, which used as search terms the variants of the name Chajkovskij as it is represented in the languages with Latin alphabet – English, French and German. It is shown that the catalogs of these libraries have an instrument, which allows getting results independent of variants of names representation. This instrument could be built according to the model suggested. In addition, we have touched some questions of representation of personal names in various languages, which is of certain importance in the theory and practice of information search.
Key words: information retrieval, mathematical modeling, fuzzy sets, library catalogs, writing systems,
standards of transliteration.
