Korean Library Association brought out the fourth revised and enlarged edition of KDC last year. Compared with the former edition It Is a marked improvement. Neverthless, it leaves much room for improvement. In order to examine and evaluate the edition more effectively, I confined my study to the class 'Philosophy'. In my judgment the problem resolves itself into following three points: 1) Each regions, blanches of philosophy is not properly balanced. As is generally known KDC was originally derived from DDC. As a result KDC and DBC are similiar with regard to their stress on the philosophical tradition of the West. In consequence, it is lacking in universality. 2) The classifiers neglected on several occassions the logical regulations of classification. The vertical and horizontal relations between the subjects are not strictly respected. 3) The persons concerned were not well informed of philosophical conceptions and genealogies. There are some misused conceptions and disorganized genealogies of philosophy. To my knowledge these problems originate in the lack of professional understanding of philosophy necessary to make the work satisfactory As a result of the examination I came to the conclusion that it is inevitable for the classifiers, to ask to specialists in philosophy for mutual cooperation. Without their professional advices the classifiers will find difficulty in solving the problems and in improving the classification

This study examined the historical background and structural characteristics of the UDC(Universal Decimal Classification) standard edition which has been created from the entire content of the Master Reference File database. We made a comparison of the structural characteristics between UDC standard edition and Korean abridged edition. UDC is a hybrid of two kinds of documentary classification scheme, that is enumerative and analytico-synthetic, and its structure reflects this feature. It is found that UDC standard edition extended the universality and synthetic method using its auxiliary tables compare to Korean abridged edition.

The purpose of this study is to derive an integration plan for bibliographic records by applying a duplicate verification algorithm to the item-based catalog in public libraries. To this, G Library, which was opened recently in Busan, was selected. After collecting OPAC data from G Library through web crawling, multipart monographs of Korean Literature (KDC 800) were selected and KERIS duplicate verification algorithm was applied. After two rounds of data correction based on the verification results, the duplicate verification rate increased by a total of 2.74% from 95.53% to 98.27%. Even after data correction, 24 books that were judged to be similar or inconsistent were identified as data from other published editions after receiving separate ISBN such as revised versions or hard copies. Through this, it was confirmed that the duplicate verification rate could be improved through catalog data correction work, and the possibility of using the KERIS duplicate verification algorithm as a tool to convert duplicate item-based records from public libraries into manifestation-based records was confirmed.

IFLA's FRBR model is a significant contribution to cataloging on both theoretical and practical grounds. This paper provides a brief overview of FRBR, a methodology for applying the FRBR work concept to a random sample of 1,000 bibliographic records taken from Korean National Bibliographic, and estimates of the number of works in Korean National Bibliographic and their associated characteristics, based on analysis of the sample. FRBR model can be applied to 16.9% of all works in Korean National Bibliographic. Results suggest that the majority of benefits associated with applying FRBR to Korean National Bibliographic could be obtained by concentrated on a relatively small number of complex works.

This study investigated relocations and expansions of DDC for the Korean university libraries using DDC to develop the standard relocations and expansions suitable for Korean situations. Contents of the standard relocations and expansions of DDC suggested by this study are as followed : Table2, Table5 and Table6. Also included are the Generalities class, Oriental philosophies from the Philosophy class, Buddhism and the oriental-origin religions from the Religion class, Public administration for the Social sciences class, the Language class, the Literature class, and the General geography and history class. The major characteristics of this study is that the standard relocations and expansions of DDC is followed by the options in DDC although it is followed by the basic systems in case that the options are not allowed.
