A book index is a locater system that ordinarily connects a set of terms from a text of a book to the page where they occur in the book's text. The DDC Relative Index differs somewhat in both of this matters. Its terms refers to classification notations and their corresponding category statements as found in the schedule text rather than to page numbers. The index is the final equipment of a classification scheme. The index is of primary importance to any classification scheme. Therefore The purpose of this study is to analysis DDC Relative Index.

Although the research information resources on Internet are spread out on thousands of computers, it is not always easy to get them on the right time by the right manner. The purpose of this study is to use DDC(Dewey Decimal Classification) scheme in subject-based directory search engine for research information resourcees to aid retrieval on the Internet. For the design of classification code, this study followed 'systematic order' of DDC to arrange subjects from the general o the specific in a logical order, and for the design of classification dictionary, 'Relative Index' of DDC was used to bring together the various aspects of subjects.

In this study, A DDC online system was developed which provides subject access and browsing function for class numbers or subject terms. A knowledgebase of the DDC Schedules and Relative Index was designed for this purpose using IBM-PC. From the DDC 20th edition, subjects from 004 to 006, covering‘data processing’,‘computer science’‘programming and progrms’, and etc., were selected for this experiment. DDC schedules are represented as a frame structure which is apt to describe hierachical structures. This experiment, joining the DDC to the information retrieval environment of an online catalog, will contribute to the future of the online DDC system by providing possiblities for search strategies not feasible through the alphabetical approach of subject headings and keywords presently supported by online catalogs.

백과사전 데이타베이스의 효과적인 검색을 위한 색인시스템을 설계하였다. 여기에서는 항목에 대한 각종 속성정보와 본문정보를 모두 포함한 색인표제어파일을 작성하고, 각 항목에 대한 참조항목을 별도로 두지 않고 시소러스파일의 BT, NT, RT, UF를 사용하여 그 항목과 연관된 항목을 참조하도록 한다. 시소러스파일은 각 색인표제어에 부여한 주제분류기호(DDC, 또는 KDC)의 계층구조를 이용하여 자동생성한 후 색인자의 수작업을 거쳐 작성된다. 이 색인시스템을 통해 백과사전에 포함되어 있는 모든 정보를 이용한 다양한 접근이 가능하며 시소러스를 사용하여 관련항목을 브라우징을 할 수 있어 포괄적인 검색이 가능하다.

The purpose of this study aims to provide possible suggestions for the improvement of the literature classification number system as the search and browsing device on the library homepage. After analyzing and evaluating literature classification number system as the search and browsing device on the homepage of library adopting DDC, suggestions for the improvement were proposed. For the purpose of maximizing the effectiveness of literature classification number system as the browsing device, DDC third summary(the thousand section) which is suited to domestic circumstances was prepared.

This paper is intended to comparatively analyzed the KDC/NDC/DDC classification system for the field of civil engineering, the research field classification system of National Research Foundation of Korea, and the science and technology research field classification system of Korea Science and Engineering Foundation. And based on the analysis, it tried to propose the ways of improving the KDC classification system for the civil engineering field. As a result of the analysis, this paper has found that the KDC 5th-edition for the civil engineering field needed some corrections. That is, the classification items that reflect the trend of academic development should be added, the classification terminology of the basic theories of civil engineering should be properly developed, segmented topics should be added, any errors in classification codes and Korean/English descriptions should be corrected, and the omission of the KDC relative index of classification items should be solved. This paper proposed the ways of improving those problems.

This study is intended to present methods improving the classification system of KDC architecture engineering fields after comparing and analyzing the academic system of architecture engineering, classification system of KDC, DDC, and LCC, and that of the research field classification system of National Research Foundation of Korea. The results of the analysis have revealed that it is required to improve and correct the KDC 5th edition of architectural engineering including the addition of classification items that reflect the trend of academic development, proper development in the rank classification terms of architectural structure engineering, addition of detailed subjects, selection of proper classification terms, errors of classification symbols and English expression, and omission of correlative indexes in the classification items. This study has proposed improved methods to solve those problems.

This study is intended to present methods improving the classification system of KDC education fields after comparing and analyzing the academic system of education, classification system of KDC, NDC, DDC and LCC, and that of the research field classification system of National Research Foundation of Korea. The results of the analysis have revealed that it is required to improve and correct the KDC 5th edition of education including the addition of classification items that reflect the trend of academic development, proper development in the rank classification terms of education detailed fields, addition of detailed subjects, errors of classification symbols and omission of correlative indexes in the classification items. This study has proposed improved methods to solve those problems.

This study aims to compare the 21th edition of Dewey Decimal Classification and the 4th edition of Korean Decimal Classification. Several categories are used for analyzing those classification systems. The purpose of this study was to compare the quality of two schedules with some examples and to analyze important categories of them and to find out the problems of them and also to provide possible suggestions for the improvement of the Korean Decimal Classification System in 21th century.

This study is to represent the research trends of the resource organization in Korea through the analysis of 607 papers related with resource organization in 4,015 papers on journals of 6 library & information science societies from 1970 through 2010. The results of this study are as follows. The average yearly papers in the case of academic journals published 14.8 pieces. The year published the largest number of papers: 2005 and 2009. The order of the number of papers by the domain of resource organization: cataloging, classification, indexing and abstracting, metadata, subject analysis. And the research on basic principle or theory in the resource organization showed insufficient. The research on KDC classification, cataloging rule, metadata element has are usually presented for improvements. But most of the research is not empirical analysis or objective assessment but subjective judgments of the researchers.
