# Free decimal correspondence # based on Melvil Dewey's decimal classification, 11th edition (1922) # updated for modern terminology, drawing in part on LC authorities # and checked and adjusted for compatibility with modern decimal # call numbers by browsing Free Library of Philadelphia # and other decimally arranged libraries. # Current DDC thousands checked only for excluding unassigned units # (necessary for compatibility). # # This set is currently fully defined down to the tens level, # and in some ranges defined down to the units level, # but expanded a little further in some places, and for # concepts identified as important by various repositories # and users. # # Lines are formatted as [number] [terms] or [range] [terms]. # Terms that are authorized LCSH headings are in quotation marks. # + separates two different subjects that both use a particular # number of range;
