  1. DDC 340, 370 and 930 : input fromEDUG working groups Presentation at Symposium “Bridging the class(ification) divide: the new DDC languages and retrieval possibilities” International Symposium 27 April 2010, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandria, Egypt Magdalena Svanberg, National Library of Sweden

  2. EDUG Law Working Group Improve 340 for legal systems in Europe! +++ EU law +++ +++ Civil law vs. Common law +++ +++ current law matters all over Europe +++ Members Yvonne Jahns , Federica Paradisi Meetings 2007 Durban - 2008 Frankfurt + Québec - 2009 Firenze

  3. European Union Law New: 341.242 2 European Union ... 341.242 202 65 Multilateral treaties, founding treaties ... 341.242 222 Council of the EU 341.242 224 European Parliament 341.242 226 European Commission 341.242 228 Courts of the EU ....

  4. Civil vs. common law • European families of law: • Common law (England, Ireland, Cyprus) • Continental systems – roots in Roman-Byzantine legal tradition: • Germanic legal family (Germany, Austria...) • Nordic legal familiy (Norway, Sweden...) • French influenced (France, Italy, Netherlands...) • Globalisation: national legal orders cannot exist any longer in isolation • Literary warrant: we need both common and civil law access points in Dewey

  5. Civil and common law • New: • 346.021 General consideration of juristic acts • Including cause, form, object, declaration of will • 346.022 Contracts • Including breach of contract, parties to contract, rescission, subcontracting • Class here comprehensive works on liablity.

  6. Current law matters – not only in Europe • New: • 364.131 7 Terrorism • Class interdisciplinary works on terrorism • in 363.325 • For terrorism as a war crime, see 364.138. For a specific type of terrorism, see the • type, e.g., cyberterrorism 364.168 • **** • 345.050 46 Victims of Crime

  7. 370 - Education • Representations of levels of education. • Provisions for topics in the primary school curriculum • (and feedback on the working assumption that topics in the secondary curriculum should continue to be classed in 001-999 + 0712 in that they are often pedagogically reduced versions of the specific subject). • Treatment of issues in comparative education, with a special focus on the presentation of policy issues related to education and the state in 379. • Suggestions for additions and changes throughout 370 Education.

  8. 370- Education • Members

  9. Representations of levels of education • In Scandinavia, the compulsory education (0-9) is often treated as a unit in the literature. We have added an option to recognize this • Kinds and types of schools

  10. Elementary education in specific subjects • Provisions for topics in elementary education in specific subjects 372.3-372.8 elementary education in specific subjects : • Review of all the numbers to make them reflect current curriculums • Language arts revised to reflect language of edition and official and second languages

  11. Policy issues related to education and the state in 379 • The presentation of policy issues related to education and the state in 379 • Update the DDC, make it reflect the recent process of harmonization (Bologna process) that takes place in Europe • Provide notation to show support and control by regional intergovernmental organizations

  12. Suggestions for additions and changes throughout 370 • False friends and American bias • 372.65 *Foreign languages and bilingual instructionWhat does ”foreign” mean in a multilingual country? • KindergartenA German word, borrowed by many other languages • Different meaning in different languages and also within a single language • Preschool education in general • Part time preschool for children during the last year(s) before school start • Prescool education based on the ideas of Friedrich Fröbel

  13. 930 – History of ancient world • Geographic subdivision of 931-939/T2—31-39. • Chronological subdivision of 931-939/T2—31-39. • The time limit of 930/T2--3 • Treatment of archaeological methods and antiquities from historical periods, i.e. medieval archaeology. • Expansions of 930.1028 for different archaeological methods. • Provision for specific topics of archaeology.

  14. Members • Magdalena Svanberg, National Library of Sweden (chair) • Patricia Bellec, BnF - Agence bibliographique nationale • Bjørn Bandlien, University of Oslo Library • Brigitte Bernhard, Deutsche Nationalbibliothek • Ines Castellano-Colmenero, National Museums Scotland • Vera Uhlmann, Schweizerische Nationalbibliothek

  15. 936-939

  16. Geographic subdivision of 931-939 / T2—31-39 • Expansions for European regions and countries. Some examples: T2—368 *‡Scandinavia to 481 [formerly —363]Add to base number —368 the numbers following —48 in —481–489, e.g.,Denmark —3689; however, for Finland, see —4897T2—369 *‡Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland to 486 [all formerly —364]Add to base number —369 the numbers following —49 in —492–494, e.g., Germanic regions in Netherlands —36921, Raetia —36947 [both formerly —363], Germania Inferior —3692, Belgica —3693, Helvetia —36943 [all formerly —364]For Raetia in Austria, see —36364 • But not for all European regions and countries. Examples: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Finland, Russia

  17. Geographic subdivision of 931-939 (continued) • The Roman Empire bias is still there, but explicit instead of implicitT2—395 2 *‡SarmatiaClass here *Ukraine to 640

  18. Chronological subdivision of 931-939 (proposal) • 930.11 Eolithic period discontinued • The time periods in 930.1 further subdivided • Chronological divisions in 936 (Europe north and west of Italian Peninsula to ca. 499), using the same general pattern as in 930.1 • Examples (proposed new numbers underlined)930.12 Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age)930.122 Lower Paleolithic Age Including Acheulian culture930.125 Midlde Paleolithic Age Including Mousterian culture930.128 Upper Paleolithic Age Including Aurignacian culture, Solutrean culture

  19. Chronological subdivision of 931-939 (continued) • The fixed end date of 930-939 is a problem • In some areas there is a collision between the general periods used in archaeology (Stone Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age) and the historical periods

  20. Remaining issues • The Roman Empire bias… • Further geographic division to provide for the regions in a country • Provide for archaeological works on later periods in 930 instead of classing them in 940-999 • Archaeology does not have the status of a discipline in DDC, but it is a discipline • Is it a problem to mix early history and archaeology? • Is the scattering of artefacts all over the scheme a problem if T2---3 is added showing the time and place? • Does 930.1028 need to be expanded for different archaeological methods?

  21. Archaeology – but not in DDC
