《中国图书馆分类法》(第5版)类目设置的瑕疵

Defects in Category Setting of Chinese Library Classification(5th Edition)

《中国图书馆分类法》(以下简称《中图法》)(第5版)在《中图法》(第4版)的基础上对类目设置进行了大量的修订,但仍存在瑕疵,例如,部分类号、类名不一致,类名与学科体系不对应,类目和注释清晰度不够,整体与部分不统一,上下位类目概念不清,类目设置不合理,等等。产生这些瑕疵主要是由于编制过程中存在着发展与稳定、集中与分散的矛盾,编制工作量大、条块分割严重,存有学科发展的不可预测等问题,因此,在《中图法》以后的修订中需要注意处理好以上这些问题。

Chinese Library Classification（CLC）（5th edition） has carried out a large number of revisions of category setting based on the CLC（4th edition）,but it is still defective,such as inconsistency of class numbers and category names,not correspondence of class names and discipline systems,insufficient clarity of category and annotation,inconsistency of the whole and the part,unclear concepts of the upper category and the lower category,unreasonable category setting,and so on.These revisions should pay attention to handling these problems in the future,such as the contradiction between development and stability,the contradiction between centralization and decentralization during cataloging,high workload and dispersion management of cataloging work,and uncertain discipline development.
