Description
Summary:At the Dewey Decimal Classification/Linked Data site, you can find a brief overview of the DDC/Linked Data project, a list of DDC's ten main classes, and a list that highlights Dewey resources now available in linked-data form using semantic architecture and system protocols. The site also links to examples and to the main OCLC Web site for an overview of DDC and linked data from OCLC's perspective. The availability of DDC classes and divisions in linked-data form will definitely open doors for school librarians and others to use the Dewey Decimal Classification in many ways both inside and outside the school library community. The latest Dewey news, division/section updates, commentary, and dialog are featured here -- maintained by none other than DDC assistant editor Rebecca Green and her staff of knowledgeable Dewey bloggers. Each division has its own link page with Dewey classification tips, Dewey-related news items, and other useful information.
