There are lots of Web materials in the field of medicine and many search engines classify the medical materials on the Web through directories. But the organization of these directories are wanting in consistency and systematization. In order for manager of search engines to organize medical materials on the Web systematically, this paper suggests several guidelines. NLMC, a special classification system for medicine, need to be applied to develop directories of medicine in search engines. Also, items of the directories should be arranged based on the relevance of subjects among subfields of medical science. For classifying an item to several directories repeatedly, clear criteria should be established. In addition to, controlled vocabularies or glossaries for medicine such as MeSH and the English-Korean, Korean-English Medical Terminology Collection should be used for selection of the name of items in medical directories.

의학사 연구영역의 확대로 다양한 주제를 다룬 연구문헌들이 배출되고 있음에도 불구하고 분류표에서 의학사는 매우 간단하게 취급되고 있어 이들 문헌을 분류하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 KDC, DDC, 중국도서관 도서분류법 등 일반 도서관용 분류표와 NLMC, 보스톤의학도서관분류,. 커닝햄분류표, 버나드분류표 등 의학도서관용 분류표에서 의학사가 어떻게 취급되고 있는 지 살펴보았으며, 의학사문헌의 보다 정확한 분류 및 분류표 재전개를 위하여 의학사의 연구범주를 고찰하였다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest improvements of pharmacy field in the KDC 6th edition. To achieve this purpose, first, this study reviewed academic area and system of pharmacy. Second, we analyzed headings of pharmacy field from first edition to 6th edition. Third, we analyzed change process of classification items in pharmacy field. Forth, we investigated general problems concerning pharmacy field in the KDC 6th edition based on the comparative analysis with DDC, NLMC, and Research Field Code by Korean Research Foundation. As a result, pharmacy field of KDC has never changed since its 4th edition. And then, this study was added new subjects related to sections and subsections of pharmacy and suggested modern terminology. Also newly assigned pharmaceutics industry, cancer treatment and biological pharmaceutics fields under 518.7-.8 which do not use in pharmacy field for efficient classification.
