Abstract

I am pleased to be included as part of this workshop. My contribution comes from my research and working with national bibliographies around the world, not from my expertise with the Dewey Decimal Classification system. With that disclaimer, I am ready to share my observations and experience in how national bibliographies and national bibliographic services use the DDC in national bibliographies, including a case study of the making of the Namibia National Bibliography

Abstract

This entry outlines the history, application, and nature of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). It explains its structure, management, revision, and the many changes that have taken place since the Task Force for UDC Development reported in 1990, and the UDC Consortium was formed. This led to the creation of the machine-readable database, or Master Reference File (MRF), consisting of some 66,000 terms, which forms the basis of all published editions and is revised and updated annually. Revision procedures and applications in an online environment are noted and the potential for future development discussed.

Abstract

This paper aims at exploring the changes in the role and representation of information retrieval languages, particularly the UDC system in the digital, online environment and the Internet. The Totalzoom Technology takes a different approach, with the help of which even a lay user can easily navigate in the "informational space". This system follows the free associative nature of human thinking. Technically, it works with the wide degree of freedom afforded by a logical-associative network, coupled with a hierarchical search tree as an inner auxiliary structure.

1. Introduction The use of classical classification methods are a strong tradition in Hungary. One of the most widespread systems is the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). We can find it in every type of library and at various levels. Perhaps it is not an overstatement to say that every library has used the UDC at least once in its history, and most of them still use it. Such standardization has been very wide and desirable, although the UDC has not become as popular a system among users everywhere as it has in Hungary. Naturally there are other information retrieval languages, too. They have been used by many libraries, but generally these institutions build their own subject system, own thesaurus, etc. There have also been attempts at creating a Hungarian General Subject s, like a Library of Congress Subject Headings or Regeln für den Schlagwortkatalog. Another project was the KÖZTAURUSZ (Comprehensive Thesaurus for the Public Libraries) and the National Széchényi Library's thesaurus. To what do we owe such a variety of approaches? The typical answer of 15-20 years ago was that the UDC lacked flexibility, its codes could not readily be used in integrated library systems, its terms were out of date and not concrete enough, etc.

Abstract

Bibliographic classification systems purport to organize the world of knowledge for information storage and retrieval purposes in libraries and bibliographies, both manual and online. The major systems that have predominated during the 20th century were originally predicated on the academic disciplines. This structural principle is no longer adequate because multidisciplinray knowledge production has overtaken more traditional disciplinary perspectives and produced communities of cooperation whose documents cannot be accomodated in a disciplinary structure. This paper addresses the problems the major classifications face, reports some attempts to revise these systems to accomodate multidisciplinary works more appropriately, and describes some theoretical research perspectives that attempt to reorient classification research toward the pluralistic needs of multidisciplinary knowledge creation and the perspectives of different discourse communities. Traditionally, the primary desiderata of classification systems were mutual exclusivity and joint exhaustivity. The need to respond to multidisciplinary research may mean that hospitality will replace mutual exclusivity and joint exhaustivity as the most needed and useful characteristics of classification systems in both theory and practice

Abstract

Achieving widespread agreement on subject organization is a complex task, and a challenge greater than that of creating a standard bibliographic description for international exchange-the goal of Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC). This article traces the history of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), its relationship with other schemes, and opportunities for further collaboration.

Abstract

This study makes recommendations to adapt and expand the class Religion (200) of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) for libraries in nations, particularly Korea, where religious diversity predominates. It contracts the classes on Christianity, 220-280, into one class, 220, and allows for local Korean emphasis so that religions of Asian, and especially East Asian, origin are given preferred treatment. It relocates Buddhism and other religions of Asian origin into separate divisions, 230 and 240, respectively. The recommendations maintain the basic system and order of DDC. Whenever possible, they adhere to the Korean Decimal Classification in the arrangement of religions of Asian origin. Because the options for religions other than Christianity in DDC are to give preferred treatment to a specific religion, this article tries to generalize the idea to suggest an option in DDC as Option F for "> 292-299 Religions other than Christianity", for other nations in the world having similar situations. It says: "Contract the Bible and Christianity in 220-280 into 220, and then class other religions to give preferred treatment in 230-280, respectively, following the order in DDC. In that case, the number "2" should be inserted in the second digit of the Bible and Christianity, e.g., the Bible 222, Jesus Christ & his family 223.2, and Puritanism 228.59."

Abstract

Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), being a predecessor of Colon Classification (CC), had impacts on CC in various ways - directly as well as indirectly. But surprisingly CC too made an impact on UDC in various ways during its revision process. The paper discusses how these two classification schemes have influenced each other in different spheres.

Abstract

S R Ranganathan and Melvil Dewey devised two types of classification schemes viz., faceted and enumerative. Ranganathan's faceted classification scheme is based on postulates, principles and canons. It has a strong theory. While working with the two schemes, similarities are observed. This paper tries to identify and present some relationships.
