  2. Mixed Translations • Use DDC data in the vernacular plus English-language classes from DDC 22 to form a single electronic edition • Not bilingual in the sense of parallel records in both languages • In general, the deepest levels will be represented in English • In some areas, the deepest levels will be represented in the vernacular (e.g., geographic areas, history)

  3. General Features • Use existing DDC data in the vernacular to form base edition • Add English-language classes from DDC 22 • Use standard terminology in the language of each record • Provide separate indexes • Provide segmentation to address needs of smaller collections

  4. Case Study 1: Norway • DDK 5 • Norwegian abridgment of DDC 21 • Includes Tables 1-7 (Table 3 in single development) • Some discrepancies in developments in history and geographic areas

  5. Norwegian Model (1) • Base edition = Level of notation in DDK 5 • Revise captions and notes to match equivalent classes in DDC 22 • Resolve differences in history • Add English-language classes for rest of schedule records • Segment numbers to level of DDK 5

  6. Norwegian Model (2) • Resolve differences in Table 2 • Divide Table 3 into Table 3A-3C • Expand tables with English-language entries • Delete Table 7 • Use DDK 5 index as basis for Norwegian index, but include full numbers • Include full English-language index

  7. Case Study 2: Sweden • DDC Summaries in Swedish • SAB-DDC mappings SAB (Swedish classification system) mapped to DDC 21 schedule numbers (updated to DDC 22) • Svenska ämnesord Swedish subject headings based on LCSH

  8. Swedish Model (1) • Base edition (under exploration) = • Classes in SAB-DDC mappings • Level of notation in Abridged Edition 14 • Additional classes in DDC 22 where SAB or Abridged Edition 14 is insufficient for Swedish needs

  9. Swedish Model (2) • Translate Tables 1-6 into Swedish with the exception of parts of Table 2 • Develop proposals for expansions in history, Table 2, and other areas of Swedish interest • Translate additional classes into Swedish as needed

  10. Swedish Model (3) • Include full English-language index • Map Swedish subject headings to Dewey numbers: • Swedish index (will need to include captions with Dewey numbers to reflect disciplinary focus) • Swedish version of People, Places & Things

  11. Examples: 370 and 576 (see handout) • Norwegian • DDK 5 classes + DDC 22 in English • Swedish • SAB-DDC mappings + Abridged Edition 14 + selected classes from DDC 22 in Swedish + DDC 22 in English • Note footnote at 576 represented in both languages!

  12. Open Issues (1) • References to topics in vernacular and English
