Journal Article
Eastern European Classification: Ukraine in the DDC
2025
Overview
Kyrios offers a quick overview of how the Dewey Decimal System (DDC) deals with geographic areas generally and some specific applications of that to the Eastern European region. For those who are a DDC expert, this may be more review, but he hopes there's going to be something here for everyone. There are ten main classes of knowledge represented by the first digit, zero through nine. The 900s, the last of those, are history and geography. Most of the numbers in this main class are about the history of specific areas. So, following the DDC's hierarchical structure, you can go from the top level, history in general at 900, to 940 for European history, to 947 for Eastern European history, and further on for specific countries. Besides those dedicated numbers for history of places, there are practically an infinite number of ways to build valid DDC numbers as a classifier to fit whatever work is being cataloged.
