I hereby invite you to join the Open Shelves Classification (OSC), a free, "humble," modern, open-source, crowd-sourced replacement for the Dewey Decimal System.

IaaS: Top-level categories
Yesterday 5:03pm
I somehow posted this in the wrong tread so I put it in here too: I am new to this group, but I have something to say about a couple of things if it's not to late. 1) I do not like, as an Architect, to categorise my architecturebooks under Art & Architecture, It feels quite wrong. You can of cause find some art in architecturebooks, but as a whole it's problematic. For now I have used Amazonbookstore's catagorizing and they have been tagged under; "Professional & Tecnical, Arts & Photography" This does not feel right and Architecure are as much an own Universityfield as Psysics and Medicine and are so much more than some books about beautiful houses. Therefore I suggest Architecture as an own category. Under is some examples of different ways I have tried to categorise some own my books: architecture, history, Art, history, architecture, folklore, Architecture, landscape, garden Architecture, Technology, Building, Craft Architecture, History & Periods, International, Norway, Oslo, food, cooking Architecture, History & Periods, International, Sweden Architecture, Interior Design, Asia Architecture, History & Periods, International, Norway Architecture, Technology, Project Planning & Management, energy Architecture, Landscape, Garden Architecture, Landscape, History & Periods, Garden Architecture, Landscape, Garden Architecture, Interior Design, Achitects A-Z, Capability Brown Architecture, Interior Design, Achitects A-Z, William Morris Architecture, Technology, Project Planning & Management, energy, fireplace Architecture, Technology, Craft, Woodwork Architecture, Interior Design, Building Types & Styles Architecture, Urban & Land Use planning Architecture, Building Types & Styles, Theory, debate About Cooking. This is not something that just happens at home. I have a lot of cookbooks, but my way of categorise this is to start with FOOD. Food can be so much. Professional cooking, nutrision, healtfood, industrial foodmaking, cooking, etc. So I think "Food" should be the upper category, and everything about food down from there, altso cooking (not cokery, ugly word)

vpfluke: How Dewey works
Yesterday 7:17pm
#17 Some of us are less hierarchical than others in classifying. My own tagging is not hierarchical, and neither is my bookshelf arranging. Food comes from plants and animals, but I assume that biology and agriculture should be separate categories. Maybe 'cookery' was used to broaden the concept of 'cuisine'. Anyway, 'food' seems a better choice.
