Abstract

The purpose of this study is principle and theory of main class in a Library Classification. According to Sayers, 'The foundation of the library is the book; the foundation of librarianship is classification.' We looked at the between scientific and bibliographic classification, and at the fact that bibliographic scheme is usually an aspect classification. That is to say, the organization of topics is based on areas or activity and the first division of the scheme is into disciplines or subject domains. This first division of classification creates what are called main class. The sequence of main classes is also important. A rough definition of a amin class is that it corresponds to a sin91e notational character. Main classes usually equivalent to traditional disciplines. What constitutes a main class will vary from one classification to another. The order in which the main classes are listed is often discussed at the theoretical level, and some orders are considered to be better than others.

지식분류는 개념을 설정하고 정의를 내린 후 학문명칭을 부여한다. 문헌분류법은 지식기반 원칙이므로 학문명칭을 실용성 우선으로 하여 주류명을 설정하는 단궤로부터 시작된다 어떤 분류법도 지식의 최초의 구분은 주류(main classes)를 창출하는 일이다. 주류는 일반적으로 전통적 학문분류와 등가이다. 그러나 주류의 설정은 지식구분과 동일한 순차는 존재할 수 없다. 그래서 주류를 구성하는 일은 다양할 수밖에 없다. 어느 분류법이든 두 가지 관념이 기본이 되는데 군집화와 순차화이다. 그렇다면 군집화는 주류명을 부여하는 단계라면, 순차화는 주류순을 결정하는 단계라고 할 수 있다. 문헌분류법에서 각각의 주류를 열거하고 있으나, 이에 대한 명확한 기준이나 철학이나 이론적 근거를 규명할 수는 없다. 그렇지만 이러한 주류설정의 원칙이나 이론 등은 전혀 연구된바가 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 분류표의 총체적인 구조의 근거가 되는 주류의 설정원칙과 그 논리를 연구하고자 함이 목적이다.
