Synopsis

This seminal 19th-century work provides a hierarchical classification system designed to categorize and organize knowledge into hierarchical classes, divisions, sections, and sub-sections. The system uses a numeric system to represent each subject, allowing for the systematic arrangement of books, and other written works such as pamphlets and cuttings on library shelves, in card catalogs, and indexes. This method of classification was a revolutionary development in library science and laid the foundation for the organization of library collections as we know them today. The system continues to be improved and refined by experts in the field and is widely used in libraries worldwide
