The Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC) is used in many countries around the world. Translations of the DDC exist in more than 30 languages. Current translations are maintained in a DDC translation software and published from there to local WebDewey applications, or become printed versions, or both.
Each language version has its own historical background, workflows are different, and even the focus of usage of a language version may differ from country to country.
Learn more about how a translated version of the DDC is used in different places, if there are other library classification systems co-existing, or for how long the DDC is around in a country. Did you know that DDC is not called "DDC" everywhere in the world?
