Abstract

For the effective classification of complex subjects, a library classification scheme should adopt multiple division principles (or facets). Each of the multiple principles adopted for the division of complex subjects is sequentially applied at each stage of division. The order of application of these multiple principles during the process of division of complex subjects is called citation order. In order for a classification scheme to be consistent and logical, the citation order of division principles applied to classify complex subjects should be concrete and consistent. Especially, in case of enumerative classification system, decisions on citation order to represent complex subjects significantly affect the structure and organization of the classification system. There are basic principles and theoretical canons of the classification theory on the citation order and its application, but they cannot be applied solidly in the process of classification system development for practical reasons. Therefore, this paper first reviews previous works on classification theories regarding citation order, then explores the conditions and circumstances for the application of citation order.

문헌분류체계에서 복합주제의 전개를 위해서는 복수의 구분기준 혹은 특성(characteristics)을 적용해야 한다. 복합주제의 세분전개를 위해 채택된 복수의 특성들은 세분의 매 단계에서 하나씩 순차적으로 전개된다. 복합주제를 세분 전개하는 과정에서 복수의 구분기준을 적용하는 순서를 인용순(citation order)이라 한다. 주제를 세분하는 과정에 적용되는 구분기준의 전개순서인 인용순이 구체적이고 일관성을 가져야 문헌분류체계의 일관성과 논리성을 확보할 수 있다. 특히 열거식 분류체계의 경우에는 복합주제의 표현을 위한 인용순의 결정이 분류체계의 구성과 체계성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 인용순 및 그 적용과 관련된 분류이론상의 기본 원칙들은 실제 분류체계 구축과정에서 실용적인 이유로 완벽히 적용되기 어렵다. 이에 본고는 분류체계의 구축과정에서 적용되고 있는 인용순 관련 분류이론과 선행연구를 개괄해보고, 인용순 실제 적용상의 제반 사항을 고찰하였다.
