Four classification schemes

Library of Congress Classification (LCC)

Herbert Putnam in 1897. does not conform to theoretical rules for classification. Explicitly compiled to meet the needs of the library's huge collection of books and is too detailed and complex for use in small libraries. Been adopted by research and university libraries throughout the world.

Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC)

Melvil Dewey Knowledge is divided into the ten main classes, each designated by a numeral from zero to nine, which can then be subdivided by the addition of two numerals before a decimal point and further numerals after it. It has a relative index which shows the relation of each subject that is indexed to a larger subject (or class or division).

Universal Decimal Classification (UDC)

Expansion of the Decimal Classification of Melvil Dewey, using various symbols in addition to Arabic numerals to create long and expressive notations for particular documents. adoption by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has ensured its worldwide use. Institut Internationale de Bibliographie, now FID

Colon Classification (CC)

S.R. Ranganathan, it is based on the classification of any subject by its uses and relations, which are indicated by numbers divided by a colon ':'. It was the first example of an analytico-synthetic classification, in which the subject field is first analysed into facets, and class numbers are then constructed by synthesis. Ready-made class numbers are not provided for most topics but are constructed by combining the classes of the various unit schedules of which the scheme consists.

The Open Metadata Registry Prototypes The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative's Open Metadata Registry is a collection of RDF schemas, application profiles and related semantics belonging to various resource communities. The overall goal is the development of a metadata registry providing authoritative information regarding the DCMI vocabulary and the relationship between terms in that vocabulary. Information regarding related terms in associated vocabularies will be given as appropriate.

ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registry Implementation Coalition The 11179 Metadata Registry Consortium is a forum for information exchange on the implementation of metadata registries based on the ISO/IEC-11179 Specification and Standardization of Data Element standard. Consortium members are interested in addressing ISO/IEC-11179 reference implementations of metadata registries, influencing commercial vendors to support ISO/IEC-11179 in their tools, developing methods to support metadata exchange between metadata registries, sharing information and lessons learned on implementation approaches, being an advocate and clearinghouse for metadata registry issues, and developing partnerships to support data management across organizations.
