Abstract

General-purpose classification scheme encompasses all subject areas, While the whole classification scheme is constructed by library studies experts, structure and preparation of each specific subject area's classification should be referenced to that specific subject. In order for the whole system to be practical and useful classification scheme, not just a simple collection of each subject area's scheme, it is necessary to set the rule for properly distributing the amount of classification items, and the collections assigned to these items. The rule to set the distribution of items based on the amount of document collections is called 'literary warrant'. This study examines actual status of assignment of each classification items to information resources, as a result of application of Korean Decimal Classification, and then suggests a way to improve these practices.

범용의 문헌분류체계는 모든 주제분야를 포괄한다. 전체적인 분류체계는 문헌정보학 전문가가 구성하더라도, 개별 주제영역의 분류항목 구성과 전개는 해당 주제영역의 그것을 참고하는 것이 효율적이다. 전체 주제를 포괄하는 문헌분류체계가 각 주제분야에서 개발한 분류체계의 단순한 모음이 아닌 실용적인 분류체계가 되기 위해서는 각 항목에 배정되는 문헌량의 다과를 반영한 항목 설정과 세분이 필요하다. 분류항목의 설정에 있어 문헌량의 다과에서 항목 설정의 타당성과 근거를 찾는 것을 문헌적 근거(literary warrant)라 부른다. 본고에서는 한국십진분류법(KDC)에 전개된 각각의 분류항목에 어느 정도의 정보자원이 배정되고 있는지를 실증적으로 확인하고 이를 기반으로 향후 개정방안을 제시하고자 한다.
