Abstract:
"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"--Introduction.
