Abstract:

This paper describes the development of the 5th Norwegian edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification. The new Norwegian edition is an intermediary edition with features from both DDC 21 (1996) and the Abridged Edition 13 (1997) to meet the subject needs of Norwegian libraries. The edition was developed in a distributed XML environment, and with close communication between the Norwegian editorial team and the Dewey editors at the Library of Congress. This collaboration resulted in improvements to DDC 22 and the 5th Norwegian edition.
