Classification and ranking system
The information containers on the shelves are arranged according to their own numbers (classification number) according to their topics according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system for classifying library holdings, which divides human knowledge into ten main sections, and the information containers on the shelves are arranged according to their own numbers (classification number), which divides human knowledge into ten main sections, each of these sections has ten branches, and each branch has ten other branches... Thus, in addition to adopting the first three letters of the author's family and the first letter of the title, or the title in the absence of an author.
Here are the ten origins of the Dewey Decimal System
numbers | Definition | numbers | Definition |
