What's indiscriminate about cataloguing?
Ec
The way it appears to be done with regards to the archives of the various formally nationalised industries in the UK.
One example of something being done badly does not mean you can redefine the concept to mean "is done badly"...
Okay that was the jokey answer. The serious answer is that a catalogue of concerned with the entire contents of any given set and not so much with the encyclopedicnes of items within that set.
For example: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/heritage/lbsearch.htm http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/heritage/colsearch.htm
Although useful (since under UK law you can view any item on the list on pain of the owner having to pay tax on it) have no place in Wikipedia (although the general law involved probably does).
