    Conclusion A scan of this summary indicates that the conference indeed presented a varied program. Overall perhaps there were fewer papers that were precisely focused than those presented at previous conferences. However, collectively the goals focused on theories, tools and methods for improving existing systems or designing alternative approaches. It is inevitable that some topics, such as metadata, permeate the whole conference and have implications for areas of research. Other topics that constantly appear are related to vocabulary and language - ontologies, classification, semantics, etc. Always striking are the papers originating in other disciplines such as nursing and business, whose authors are seeking to use the theories and practices of knowledge organization as models for organization and processes in those disciplines. This is a positive sign demonstrating the potential for generalizing theories and methodologies for knowledge organization to other disciplines. There was one "orphan" paper on library and information science education. True, the theme was global learning, but in a different sense. Another unusual inclusion was three papers dealing with FRBR. One was a report of activities the IFLA Working Group and not research per se, but the other two were on subject authority control, which was more germane to the nature of ISKO conferences. It is inevitable that specific topics become scattered. A precise topic can be dealt with from many points of view, placing papers on the same topic in different categories. There is nothing wrong with this but a good index would counter the scatter and aid readers in use of these proceedings. Nevertheless, despite a few shortcomings this volume is a valuable addition to the research agenda of KO.

    Darin auch Berichte über die deutschen Beiträge: "The third paper by Magda Heiner-Freiling, of the Deutsche Bibliothek and Patrice Landry of the Swiss National Library focuses on "The Use of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) for the Organization of the National Bibliographies: Switzerland and Germany/Austria." It discusses the reasons that led to the use of DDC for this purpose, and deals with the difficulties of adopting a common approach using the Second Dewey Summary (100 divisions). It also describes the challenges for the three libraries of incorporating German requirements into the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie. Their concerns have been brought about by the introduction of national bibliographies to the web environment and the need to "undertake studies on how to bring electronic documents under bibliographic control." The issues were intensified by the need to arrange national bibliographies in a "userfriendly" way and to ensure efficient subject access to records. In addition there had been "a long-standing IFLA and UNESCO recommendation to arrange bibliography according to an international classification scheme." These events provided the background for the decision by the three libraries to work together to produce a common Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) arrangement for the national bibliographies of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The position of each library is described. The Swiss National Library undertook a major reorganization of its operations and structures which included a study to select a classification scheme for its collection - a study which also looked at the national bibliography. For the Swiss national bibliography, this evaluation led to the replacement of an indexing system based on UDC with the Dewey Second Summary (100 Divisions) with modifications for Swiss history and geography. In 2004 Die Deutsche Bibliothek (DDB) decided "to use a new scheme based on DDC" for the new Deutsche Nationalbibliografie (DNB) and the Austrian national bibliography followed suit in the same year. These moves can be attributed to two factors. The first was the impending publication of a German translation of DDC. Secondly, since 1982 the three libraries had been using two different systems, a situation that placed constraints on the exchange of data for use by the bibliographies. There was growing international acceptance of DDC and the change to DDC would improve bibliographic services and facilitate cooperation with foreign national libraries.
