Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the analytic-assembling(faceted analysis) methods applied in enumerative-hierarchical classification schemes. (mainly in KDC) The methods are summarized as follows : 1. For the enumerative-hierarchical classification schemes, in principle the subjects are divided into subdivisions by only one facet at the same level, and step by step. However some subjects, for example 'library and information science' 'education' and others in KDC, are divided into subdivisions by multiple facets at same level like Colon Classification. 2. Most of enumerative-hierarchical classification schemes have various kinds of auxiliary tables, such as standard subdivisions, areas, periods, and languages. Each of them is considered as foci by a facet applied to subdivide all kinds of subjects or some special subjects into lower level. 3. To classify the compound subjects with phase relation, KDC provides ready-made classification numbers or notes that says 'divide by 001-999'(whole subjects) of 'divide by xxx-xxx'(limited scope of subjects). The ready-made compound subjects, or subdividing by whole or limited scope of subjects are similar to representation of phase relation in Colon Classification. Yet these analytic-assembling methods in KDC are needed to be supplemented and amended. Subdividing methods for faceted analysis have to be unified through the whole schedule. The auxiliary tables should be enlarged and subdivided more specifically. And for representation of phase relation, the linking signs can be useful in KDC as well as UDC and other analytic-assembling classification schemes like Colon Classification.
