Can the Dewey Decimal System meet the needs of the rapidly changing information environment? Moving Beyond the Presentation Layer explores the Dewey Decimal System from a variety of perspectives, each of which peels away a bit of the “presentation layer”—the familiar linear notational sequence-to reveal the content and context offered by the DDS. Library professionals from around the word examine how the content and context offered by the DDS can evolve to meet the needs of the changing information environment, with a special focus on the impact of the Internet on current and future developments. Moving Beyond the Presentation Layer examines whether the Dewey Decimal System is a rigid structure best suited to a physical information environment or a polymorphic one that can be adapted to meet a variety of physical and virtual needs. This unique book reviews the 40-year history of the online use of classification systems, the development of the Relative Index over 22 editions of the DDC, recommendations to ensure the viability of the DDC in a time of mass digitization, using DDS in an environment where it hasn’t been used before, teaching the DDS, special issues related to the use of the DDS in Europe, North America, and Africa, and the future of online classification. Topics examined in Moving Beyond the Presentation Layer include: using the DDC as the browsing mechanism for resource discovery classification as an online cataloging tool classification as an online end-user tool browser behavior in a DDC-based Web service the role of the DDS in the ongoing HILT (High-Level Thesaurus) project using the DDS to organize Web resources localization and interoperability in knowledge organization mapping terminologies to classification systems the DeweyBrowser and much more Moving Beyond the Presentation Layer is an essential professional resource for librarians, information scientists, computer scientists, and metadata and Web services specialists.

2021 version of the Dewey Decimal Classification. DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION, 2021 (200-599) (Volume 2 of 4) Classification: What It Is and What It Does Classification provides a system for organizing knowledge. Classification may be used to organize knowledge represented in any form, e.g., books, documents, electronic resources. Notation is the system of symbols used to represent the classes in a classification system. In the Dewey Decimal Classification, the notation is expressed in Arabic numerals. The notation gives both the unique meaning of the class and its relation to other classes. The notation provides a universal language to identify the class and related classes, regardless of the fact that different words or languages may be used to describe the class. History, Current Use, and Development of the Dewey Decimal Classification The Dewey Decimal Classification-conceived by Melvil Dewey in 1873 and first published in 1876-is a general knowledge organization tool that is continuously revised to keep pace with knowledge. The system is further extended through number building, interoperable translations, association with categorized content, and mappings to other subject schemes. The DDC is published by OCLC, Inc. The DDC is accessed through WebDewey, a frequently updated subscription service maintained by OCLC. OCLC owns all copyright rights in the Dewey Decimal Classification and licenses the system for a variety of uses. The DDC is the most widely used classification system in the world. Libraries in more than 138 countries use the DDC to organize and provide access to their collections, and DDC numbers are featured in the national bibliographies of more than sixty countries. Libraries of every type apply Dewey numbers on a daily basis and share these numbers through a variety of means (including WorldCat). Dewey is also used in a variety of applications on the web in support of categorization, browsing, and retrieval. The DDC has been translated into over thirty languages. Since 1988, authorized translations of the full and abridged editions of the DDC have been published or are under way in Arabic, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese. The DDC Summaries, the top three levels of the Dewey Decimal Classification system, have been translated into Afrikaans, Arabic, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Vietnamese. One of Dewey's great strengths is that the system is developed and maintained in a national bibliographic agency, the Library of Congress. The Dewey editorial office is located in the Dewey Section of the Library of Congress, where classification specialists annually assign over 60,000 DDC numbers to records for works cataloged by the Library. Having the editorial office within the Dewey Section enables the editors to detect trends in the literature that must be incorporated into the Classification. The editors prepare proposed schedule revisions and expansions and forward the proposals to the Decimal Classification 3 Editorial Policy Committee (EPC) for review and recommended action. EPC is a ten-member international board whose main function is to advise the editors and OCLC on matters relating to changes, innovations, and the general development of the Classification. EPC represents the interests of DDC users; its members come from national, public, special, and academic libraries, and from library schools.

A Practical Guide to Dewey Decimal Classification is a hands-on introduction to the world’s most frequently used classification system. The book gives a brief history of the scheme and discusses the theory behind the organization and construction of Dewey class numbers. However, I would like to go further and walk through the process of finding DDC numbers and how to build them using WebDewey, the online resource for accessing DDC. Since DDC is no longer published in print (as of June 2018), it is important that readers understand the basics of using WebDewey. End-of-chapter exercises let readers assess their learning. Chapter coverage is complete: 1. Introduction 2. Dewey Decimal Classification in a Nutshell 3. Basic Principles of Classification (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 4. Searching and Browsing in WebDewey (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 5. Using Notes and the Manual (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 6. Number Building in DDC (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 7. Using Tables within the Schedules (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 8. Advanced Class Number Building Using Table 1 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 9. Advanced Class Number Building Using Table 2 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 10. Advanced Class Number Building Using Tables 3-6 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 11. Conclusion; DDC Resources Appendix: Answers to chapter exercises

Excerpt from An Extension of the Dewey Decimal System of Classification Applied to Architecture and Building Each one of these primary classes or centuries is next divided into ten secondary divisions or decades, like that for the Fine Arts 700 Fine Arts 710 Landscape Architecture 720 Architecture 730 Sculpture 740 Drawing 750 'painting 7 60 Engraving 7 70 Photography 780 Music 790 Amusements Each secondary class or decade is further divided into ten sub divisions or units, for example, like Architecture' 720 Architecture 721 Construction 722 Ancient 728 Mediaeval 724 Modern 725 Public 726 Religious 727 Educational 728 Residence 729 Design In this manner are Obtained 1000 unit divisions which form a system usually found sufficient for a small library, a collection of general memoranda, or a series of notes and clippings of moderate extent. But a specialist requires a much more extendedsubdivision of perhaps only a few of these units comprising the topics in which he is chiefly interested. This introduces a very useful property of the decimal system, namely, that it may be almost infinitely extended in any part by the subdivision of certain units without affecting others or requiring any rearrangement of the general system. First subdivide into tenths of the unit, like Modern Architecture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
