Abstract

The aim of this special issue of Knowledge Organization is to explore the definition of the interdisciplinary field of "knowledge organization" through historical and contemporary perspectives. The goal is to provide a shared framework of terminology, theories, methodologies, and approaches to stimulate research. The International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO) is the premier international scholarly society devoted to the theory and practice of knowledge organization. At the Ninth International ISKO Conference in Vienna in July 2006, it became clear during informal conversations and discussions within the Scientific Advisory Council that there was a need to present a shared definition of the field of knowledge organization. While a majority of ISKO members are drawn from the field of library and information science (LIS), interest in knowledge organization is not limited to the LIS field. Indeed, contributors to Knowledge Organization (the society's journal) and to ISKO conferences represent areas of interdisciplinary research and application well beyond LIS itself. The excitement engendered by wide interest from many disciplines in the field of knowledge organization has also caused some confusion about the meaning of "knowledge organization" and its relationship to other fields such as "knowledge management." We have invited a group of authors drawn widely from the ISKO community and who among them span a half century of research in the field to address such questions as:
- What is knowledge organization? - What are the meanings of "document," "information," and "knowledge" in knowledge organization? - What are the defining questions in knowledge organization? - What fields have an interest in the defining questions of knowledge organization? - Which epistemologies, theories, and methodologies are relevant in the knowledge organization field? - What are some current research questions in knowledge organization? - What are the long-term research questions in knowledge organization? - What relationships are specified in the organization of knowledge? - What are knowledge organization systems?

Content

This paper explores the feasibility of developing mixed translations of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC system in countries/language groups where English enjoys wide use in academic and social discourse. A mixed translation uses existing DDC data in the vernacular plus additional data from the English-language full edition of the DDC to form a single mixed edition. Two approaches to mixed translations using Norwegian/English and Swedish/English DDC data are described, along with the design of a pilot study to evaluate use of a mixed translation as a classifier's tool.

Abstract

This paper reports on an ongoing investigation of mixed translation models for the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system to support classification and access. A mixed translation uses DDC classes in the vernacular to form the basic framework of the mixed edition; English-language records are ingested directly to complete hierarchies where needed. Separate indexes of available terminology in the vernacular and English are provided. Specific Norwegian and Swedish mixed models are described, along with testing results of the Norwegian model. General implications of mixed translation models for knowledge organization in multilingual environments are considered.

Abstract

This article explores the history of the representation of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) in the Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) formats, with a special emphasis on the development of the MARC classification format. Until 2009, the format used to represent the DDC has been a proprietary one that predated the development of the MARC classification format. The need to replace the current editorial support system, the desire to deliver DDC data in a variety of formats to support different uses, and the increasingly global context of editorial work with translation partners around the world prompted the Dewey editorial team, along with OCLC research and development colleagues, to rethink the underlying representation of the DDC and choose the MARC 21 formats for classification and authority data. The discussion is framed with quotes from the writings of Nancy J. Williamson, whose analysis of the content of the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) schedules played a key role in shaping the original MARC classification format.

Abstract

The German translation of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system has had a transformational effect on the DDC in terms of DDC content, the underlying translation support system, representation of the DDC in electronic files, new uses of the DDC, mappings, collaboration with the Dewey editorial team and other members of the worldwide Dewey community, and ongoing research and development. This paper highlights some of the contributions of the German translation to each of these areas produced under the visionary leadership of Magda Heiner-Freiling.

Abstract

The 4 volume set of the 21st edition of the DDC was published in Jul 1996, and its electronic version, Dewey for Windows (on CD-ROM) was introduced the following month. Presents some highlights from both, and gives an update on research that is aimed at helping the DDC continue to be the knowledge organization tool for the next century. Ed. 21 includes 3 major revisions: 350-354 Public adminsitration; 370 Education; and 560-590 Life sciences. Changes have been made in other disciplines to address cultural, social and political issues, including an attempt to reduce the Christian bias in 200 (Religion). Further expansions to computer science have been required. Several structural changes should make DDC21 easier to apply and exploit the new possibilities of electronic distribution.

Abstract

The paper presents the approach of using the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model to investigate the complicated sets of relationships among different versions of a classification system for the purposes of specifying provenance of classification data and facilitating collaborative efforts for using and reusing classification data, particularly in a linked data setting. The long-term goal of this research goes beyond the Dewey Decimal Classification that is used as a case. It addresses the questions of if and how the modelling approach and the FRBR-based model itself can be generalized and applied to other classification systems, multilingual and multicultural vocabularies, and even non-KOS resources that share similar characteristics.

Abstract

This paper explores the feasibility of using the Universal Decimal Classification's revised religion scheme as the framework for an alternative view of 200 Religion in the Dewey Decimal Classification, and as a potential model for future revision. The study investigates the development of a top-level crosswalk between the two systems, and a detailed mapping using Buddhism as a case study.

Abstract

The Dewey Decimal Classification is preparing for the future in a number of ways. Editorial work is supported by a UNIX-based system and access to online bibliographic databases. Two editions of Electronic Dewey have been published and a Windows version is under development The Classification is continuously revised to keep pace with knowledge. Various changes have been introduced to address classifier convenience, modern classification design principles, and electronic distribution. A Dewey research agenda has been identified to guide future development and explore new opportunities. I will describe a few of the changes underway and suggest some questions to guide future directions for the Dewey Decimal Classification.

Abstract

The Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD) conceptual model identifies entities, attributes and relationships as they relate to subject authority data. FRSAD includes two main entities, thema (any entity used as a subject of a work) and nomen (any sign or sequence of signs that a thema is known by, referred to, or addressed as). In a given controlled vocabulary and within a domain, a nomen is the appellation of only one thema. The authors consider the question, can the FRSAD conceptual model be extended beyond controlled vocabularies (its original focus) to model classification data? Models that are developed based on the structures and functions of controlled vocabularies (such as thesauri and subject heading systems) often need to be adjusted or extended to accommodate classification systems that have been developed with different focused functions, structures and fundamental theories. The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system is used as a case study to test applicability of the FRSAD model for classification data, and as a springboard for a general discussion of issues related to the use of FRSAD for the representation of classification data.
