Abstract

The Korean Decimal Classification (KDC) and Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC) are national classification systems of Korea and Japan. They have been used widely in many libraries of each country and maintained successfully by each national library associations of Korean Library Association (KLA) and Japan Library Association (JLA). This study compares the general characteristics of these two national classification systems using their latest editions of KDC 6 and NDC 10. After reviewing the former research, their origins, general history and development, and usages were briefly compared. Various aspects including classification by discipline, not by subjects, decimal expansion of the classes using pure notations of Arabic, hierarchical structure, and mnemonics quality are checked for both systems. Results of the comparative analyses of major auxiliary tables, main classes and 100 divisions of schedules of two systems are suggested one by one with special regards to Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The analyses focus on the differences between both systems as well as the characteristics which reflect the local situations of both countries. It suggests some ideas for future developments and research based on the results of their strengths and weaknesses.
国家分类法的比较分析:以韩国十进分类法与日本十进分类法为例
韩国十进分类法(KDC)和日本十进分类法(NDC)是韩国和日本的国家分类法。它们在各国的许多图书馆广泛使用,并由韩国图书馆协会(KLA)和日本图书馆协会(JLA)的各国家图书馆协会成功维护。本研究使用最新版本的KDC 6和NDC 10比较了这两种国家分类系统的一般特征。在回顾前人研究的基础上,简要比较了它们的起源、一般历史和发展以及用法。这两个系统检查了各个方面,包括按学科分类,而不是按主题分类,使用纯阿拉伯符号进行类的十进制扩展,层次结构和助记符质量。对杜威十进分类法(DDC)的主要辅助表、主要类和100种表进行了逐一比较分析。分析的重点是两种制度之间的差异以及反映两国当地情况的特点。在分析其优缺点的基础上,对未来的发展和研究提出了一些建议。
