Abstract

In 2003, OCLC published Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index, Edition 22 (DDC 22), in print and Web versions. The changes and updates in the new edition reflect a modern view of knowledge structures and address the general needs of Dewey users. The content of DDC 22 has been shaped by a number of social, geopolitical, and technical trends. The World Wide Web has provided a vehicle for more frequent distribution of updates to the DDC, and a medium for direct communication with Dewey users around the world. In addition to updating the system itself, other strategies are needed to accommodate the needs of the global Dewey user community. Translation of the system is one approach; another is mapping. Mapping terminology to the DDC is a strategy for supporting effective local implementation of the system while maintaining the internal cohesiveness of the DDC. This paper explores the usefulness of mapping terminology from English-language general subject headings lists produced outside the U.S.

Abstract: Describes what needs to be done to prepare knowledge organization tools for the future in the context of 7 challenges facing classification systems. Discusses work underway in the DDC to address each of these challenges focusing on: Updating efforts; features of Dewey for Windows; the OCLC projects; multilingual use of Dewey; and the development of a new database system with an authority control file for entries in the Relative Index and for linked entries from other theisauri

Abstract

The 21st edition of the DDC will be published in summer 1996, 120 years after the publication of the first ed. This paper describes the major changes in ed. 21 and explores some of the social, cultural, political, disciplinay, and knowledge organization forces behind the changes. The print version of ed. 21 is one manifestation of a larger underlying database that has also responded to several forces to meet present and future needs. Developments in the database and future directions to meet new uses of the DDC are addressed

Abstract

This paper reports on the second part of an initiative of the authors on researching classification systems with the conceptual model defined by the Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD) final report. In an earlier study, the authors explored whether the FRSAD conceptual model could be extended beyond subject authority data to model classification data. The focus of the current study is to determine if classification data modeled using FRSAD can be used to solve real-world discovery problems in multicultural and multilingual contexts. The paper discusses the relationships between entities (same type or different types) in the context of classification systems that involve multiple translations and /or multicultural implementations. Results of two case studies are presented in detail: (a) two instances of the DDC (DDC 22 in English, and the Swedish-English mixed translation of DDC 22), and (b) Chinese Library Classification. The use cases of conceptual models in practice are also discussed.
