    Abstract
    The paper takes a retrospective look at the work of Henry Evelyn Bliss, classificationist theorist and author of the Bibliographic Classification. Major features of his writings and philosophy are examined and evaluated for the originality of their contribution to the corpus of knowledge in the discipline. Reactions to Bliss's work are analysed, as is his influence on classification theory of the 20th century. Contemporary work on knowledge organization is seen to continue a number of strands from Bliss's original writings. His standing as a classificationist is compared with that of Ranganathan, with the conclusion that he is not given the credit he deserves.

    Abstract
    Das Abenteuer, ein Buch neu zu denken, das die Welt neu denken wollte: Diderots und d'Alemberts Encyclopédie. Es freilegen, befreien von Vereinnahmung und Verklärung, die das unbändige Werk in kostbares Leder packen, im Regal verstauen, mit einem Brockhaus verwechseln. Im Lauf der Zeit fallen alle Auswüchse, Sehnsüchte, Widersprüche den Gelehrten zum Opfer, denen soviel ungestümes Leben angst macht. Der Mensch, der doch im Mittelpunkt aller Bestrebungen der Enzyklopädisten steht, wird aus dem Buch gedrängt - übrig bleiben die großen Ideen, die hehren Ideale, um deren Unvereinbarkeit mit der Realität Diderot und die Seinen wohl wußten, doch schon bald nicht mehr wissen durften. Denn die Fackel der Aufklärung leuchtete längst nicht in alle Winkel des menschlichen Herzens. Schwärmerei und Gottesfurcht haben darin ebenso überlebt wie die bemerkenswert unaufgeklärte Betrachtung der Anderen: der Faulenzer, Müßiggänger, Sodomiten, Deserteure und Selbstmörder, von Frauen und Negern ganz zu schweigen. Zweihundertfünfzig Jahre später wühlen wir uns durch die Folianten, fahren auf Alleen und Sandwegen vorbei an allem erdenklichen Getier und Gewächs, an Gebilden, Gebäuden, und wir staunen darüber, wie uns die Enzyklopädisten, die doch schon so lange tot sind, plötzlich in Fleisch und Blut durch ihr Universum führen: Wiesen, Himmel, Steinbrüche, Senkgruben. Die Grenzen, die sie ihrer Welt gesetzt haben, kreuzen die unseren. Mit einem Buch die Menschheit verbessern zu wollen, was für eine Anmaßung! Mit Wörtern die Welt beschreiben, welch Wahnwitz! Und doch: Nach und nach werden aus Wörtern Stimmen, hören wir Verstimmungen glückliche Tage, Verdruß. Wir lesen, daß Diderot nach seiner Rückkehr vom Begräbnis des verehrten Freundes Montesquieu seinen Artikel EKLEKTIZISMUS beendet; lassen uns von Jaucourts Entdeckerfreude anstecken, wenn er die hungrige Laus auf seinem Handrücken beschreibt, Bein für Bein, Haar für Haar; amüsieren uns über Rousseaus Verdammung schlecht klingender Trompeten; lesen, wie sich die wohl einzige Frau, die an der Encyclopédie mitschreiben durfte, Susanne-Marie de Vivans, über die Weitschweifigkeit ihrer Kollegen mokiert; fragen uns, wo denn die Aufklärung geblieben ist, wenn Voltaire ausruft, man könne die Geschichte nicht studieren, ohne »Abscheu gegenüber der menschlichen Gattung« zu fassen; und wir fühlen mit, wie Diderot sich im Artikel ENZYKLOPÄDIE den ganzen Frust von der Seele schreibt über das »verfluchte Monstrum«, das ihm so viele Jahre seines Lebens geraubt hat. Zweihundertfünfzig Jahre Lorbeer, Tortenguß, Bibliothekenstaub, Gipsschichten, Ketzerhemden und Talare: Nackt sieht die Encyclopédie anders aus, menschlicher, weniger angsteinflößend, bezaubernder, fehlerhafter; und nackt oder zumindest im Morgenmantel, dem liebgewordenen, abgegriffenen, auch die Autoren in ihren Artikeln. Nicht in den weltbewegenden, vielzitierten, anthologisierten; es sind die Kleinode, Rohdiamanten, in denen der Mensch überlebt, und die uns heute noch anrühren, Arche Noah in unserer Zeit der beliebig verfügbaren, verlinkten Information - Orakel auf unserem Weg durchs 21. Jahrhundert.

    Abstract
    The decimal system is one system of a number of possible systems of ordering - and a very symbolic also. The ordering in ten chapters, themes, numbers, etc. you can find often in history. Indeed Dewey is not the genius-founder of decimal classification (against a number of authors)! For ordering and structuring separate schemes within a classification DDC creates a number of important negative solutions, e.g. in the main classes the 'lost' of physics and of medicine as special schemes: Nearly a catastrophe in the times of STM! And against an enormous tradition like Leibniz 1646 - 1716) et alii! Compare Bliss: The Bliss-Classification gives space for 6 numbers »sciences« in a context of 26 classes. Therefore the result in short: DDC (and UDC of course!) are »flowers« of the past, of the first decades of century 20! As a fact the Decimal Classification within the tradition of Melvil Dewey is not a final work: See the increasing number of newly constructed decimal classifications during the years 80 and 90 of the 20th century! Nevertheless DDC is a very great (problem and) solution in its development, internationality, reception - and edge-stone for many thinkers and librarians throughout the world - and an important example for modern translational work! Magda Heiner-Freiling has given to us a great stone for the edifice of Modern DDC: Requiescat in pace!

    Abstract
    The concerns of the past century follow us into the next. Despite continuing technological advancement we find ourselves overwhelmed by a virtual tidal wave of information. Instead of reinventing seemingly novel solutions, it is appropriate to reexamine the successes and failures of the past. In light of the increasing focus on faceted classification as a potential approach to the problems of organizing conceptual space, it is appropriate to direct critical attention to the convoluted nature of the interaction between Henry Evelyn Bliss and S. R. Ranganathan. Drawing upon the methods of historiography, this is a review of original documents and an analysis of primary examples drawn from the correspondence between Ranganathan and Bliss currently in possession of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Columbia University and Archives and Special Collections at the Morris Raphael Cohen Library, City College of New York. This analysis will serve as a springboard to further exploration of the synthetic nature of faceted classification

    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to document how Paul Otlet, founding-father of what is termed at present as "information science", attempted to provide a complete "image of the world" (and reality in general) by establishing the scientific discipline he dubbed "documentation". The paper also aims to focus on how Otlet represented human knowledge and reality in a systematic and unified way. Design/methodology/approach - A close reading of Otlet's primary works and some of his personal archives was undertaken. Findings - Most importantly, it is shown that Otlet's views on documentation were immersed in a cosmological, objectivist, humanitarian and ontological framework that is alien to contemporary information science. Correspondingly, his alleged affinity with positivism is reassessed. Originality/value - The philosophical foundations of the origins of information science are highlighted. Indirectly, this paper is relevant to the ongoing debate on realism and anti-realism in information science.

    Abstract
    The work titled Code for CIassifiers by William Stetson Merrill is examined. The development of Merrill's Code over a period of 27 years, 1912-1939 is traced by examining bibliographic, attribution, conceptual and contextual differentes. The general principles advocated, the differentes between variants, and three controversial features of the Code: 1) the distinction between classifying vs. classification, 2) borrowing of the bibliographic principle of authorial intention, and 3) use of Dewey Decimal class numbers for classified sequence of topics, are also discussed. The paper reveals the importance of the Code in its own time, the complexities of its presentation and assessment by its contemporaries, and it's status today.

    Abstract
    I present a detailed philosophical study of three classification systems: Al-Farabi, Al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun. The primary aim of this study is to formulate the underlying philosophical basis of each classification and to relate this basis to certain principles contained in the Islamic revelation. I also give analytical treatment of the following questions: the major distinguishing features of each classification and the attitude of each thinker towards the philosophical and religious sciences and how they envisaged the distinction between the two fields.

    Abstract
    Revisits the heritage of faceted classification (FC) beginning with an examination of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) in its early manifestations and the groundwork established by international documentalist groups. Early document retrieval experimentation with FC during the intensive period of system design, testing and evaluation in the 1950s and 1960s is discussed, as well as the rise of an international discourse community that sought to augment and extend the reach of FC through system implementations. A list of acronyms employed in the article is given in an appendix.

    Abstract
    This article explores the representation of knowledge through the discursive practice of 'general' or 'universal' classification schemes. These classification schemes were constructed within a philosophical framework which viewed `man' as the central focus in the universe, which believed in progress through science and research, and which privileged written documentation over other forms. All major classification schemes are built on clearly identifiable systems of knowledge, and all classification schemes, as discursive formations, regulate the ways in which knowledge is made accessible. Of particular interest in determining how knowledge is represented in classification schemes are the following: - Main classes: classification theorists have attempted to 'discipline epistemology' in the sense of imposing main class structures with the view to simplifying access to knowledge in documents for library users. - Notational language: a number of classification theorists were particularly interested in the establishment of symbolic languages through notation. The article considers these aspects of classification theory in relation to: the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme; Otlet and La Fontaine's Universal Bibliographic Classification and the International Institute of Bibliography; Henry Evelyn Bliss's Bibliographic Classification; and S.R. Ranganathan's Colon Classification.

    Abstract
    The history of classified order relating to the Bavarian State Library dates back to the library's origins and the theoretical treatise its collections inspired. Many more classifications followed to facilitate practical access to the ever expanding collections, both in the open-access areas and in the closed stacks. The most comprehensive classifications used in the library are introduced in chronological order and as instruments to ensure the continuity of subject access in a kind of logical sequence: the Classified Shelf-Register of 1814, the Old Classified Catalogue 1501 - 1952 dating from the 1870s, the Hirschberger Catalogue 1953 - 1981, the Munich Classification of 1983 and the development of an Online Classification (DDC) based on the Dewey Decimal Classification from a predecessor in 1999 to announce the latest acquisitions in the special collection fields.

    Content
    The aim of the paper is to provide an improved understanding of the classification applied in the Seven Epitomes (Qi lüe), the first documented classified library catalogue in China (completed in the first century BCE). Chinese bibliographers have suggested that Liu Xin, the compiler of the catalogue, followed the Principle of Classicist Values, state of scholarship, literary warrant, and ideas of yin/yang and the Five Phases to devise the six-fold classification. By applying a multidimensional framework constructed for a large-scale research project, the author re-examined the origins of the six main classes in the catalogue within its own social, cultural, and political contexts. Issues highlighted for discussion include the concept of "discipline", the limitation of the classification in relation to literary warrant, and the motives of intellectual control and social engineering.

    Abstract
    James Duff Brown was an influential and energetic librarian in Great Britain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His Subject Classification has characteristics that were unusual and idiosyncratic during his own time, but his work deserves recognition as one of the precursors of modern bibliographic classification systems. This article discusses a number of theories and classification practices that Brown developed. In particular, it investigates his views on the order of main classes, on the phenomenon of "concrete" subjects, and on the need for synthesized notations. It traces these ideas briefly into the future through the work of S. R. Ranganathan, the Classification Research Group, and the second edition of the Bliss Bibliographic Classification system. It concludes that Brown's work warrants further study for the light it may shed on current classification theory and practice.
