This goes well past libraries and into new concepts. Vannevar Bush wrote an article you might find interesting, As We May Think, it is the precursor in many ways to the internet. https://web.mit.edu/sts.035/www/PDFs/think.pdf

  A book you might also want to read is The World Brain by H.G. Wells which is about a world encyclopedia.  https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks13/1303731h.html

Some people say that this book helped inspire Wikipedia.

However, classification systems are limited. There are currently over 13 zettabytes on the internet right now. This is more than any library can hold. We have entered the zettabyte era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte_Era

  I believe it would take something similar to a multi zettabyte vector database attached to a knowledge graph of all the content on the internet and available content in universities and libraries to build a universal taxonomy. Artificial intelligence with human oversite would be used to create a self organizing map based on existing taxonomies like the Universal Decimal Classification or Library of Congress.  It would fill in the holes of the existing system.

The closest place where I thnk they could have done this already is the DARPA Memex project named after Vannevar Bush's idea. But it is not public. https://www.darpa.mil/research/programs/memex

Thank your sir for your response .

Yes it's sad but true that may be perfect map does not exits

I think I will have to give up this idea of getting a perfect map

May be in future , it will become possible.

It is very much a topic of the future. There are several science fiction novels written around it. Isaac Asimov has the Encyclopedia Galactica in his Foundation series. David Brin also has the Encyclopedia Galactica in his uplift trilogy. Gordon R. Dickson wrote a book called The Final Encyclopedia. It has been a dream for a long time. Some people consider The Library of Alexandria the first attempt at this.
