I’m working on cleaning up blog categories across three websites. In order to standardize what I write, I’m using the Dewey Decimal system as my guideline.
I’m almost done with the third site; still had to shoehorn posts attributed to either “metrics” or “leadership” into some category, and thought it would be a finer division of 658.8, business, under the 600s, Technology.
Turned to the index.
Leadership is 303.3, Coordination and control (the category I’m using), with several suggested alternatives including armed forces (355.3), public administration (350.007), and local government (352). That’s more coverage, over a wider range of topics, than “business” gets.
Metrics is 380, Metrology and standardization, the social use of systems of measurement, including time systems and standards.
Interesting.
Ironically, “Taxonomy” is not an index entry in this book. Classification is 001, and library science is 025.
