The Relative Index
The use of an alphabetically arranged “relative index” (this term is Melvil Dewey’s own) is of course an essential feature of DDC. This index generally follows the standard layout and practice of its equivalent in standard DDC 21, with the following exceptions:
· Without being overly pedantic, we have tried to preserve the worthwhile distinction, established by Melvil Dewey himself, between the function of the alphabetic order of the relative index and that of the classificatory order of the schedules. To find the biblical book of Genesis, for instance, one looks up NOT the Bible nor the Old Testament, nor the Torah; but “Genesis” (under “G”). A user desiring to locate a subject by looking it up under a more general heading should find the general heading in the index – then locate that heading in the schedule, and browse the subheadings he finds there.
· Many general topics may be applied to comparative religion, and a number, if not all, of the specific religious systems covered by this schedule. The notation for these “common” topics is noted in the form [-883] - (bold, and enclosed in square brackets). This is not, of course, in itself a completed class number, and cannot be used on its own. This kind of entry is always followed by at least one example of its application. These examples do not, as a rule, represent all possible numbers that might be built from the notational fragment concerned - the rule is very simply to put “27” at the beginning of such a number, to apply it to Christianity, “238” for Sikhism, “29” to apply it to the Bahá’í Faith, and so on – then inserting the decimal point after the third digit to turn it into a “proper” Dewey number. Although this does not quite always result in a valid number – see the next note.
· A number located in this index, or built in accordance with the last note (and this applies to the index to the rest of DDC as much as to this schedule) should always be checked back in the schedule itself, where its context and meaning is sometimes much more evident, so that its suitability as a class item for the specific library item concerned can be better determined. Some theoretically valid “built” numbers do not apply to some religions, or apply in an unexpected sense. It is also sometimes the case that a more specific class is found enumerated under the heading found in the index; or that a note under the heading will suggest a much more suitable number.
· A type of entry common in the “standard” relative index that we have tried to avoid here is the heading for which no specific place exists in the schedules, although a rather more general heading plainly covers it. The Kyrie and the Gloria for example, as parts of the Mass, do not have specific Dewey numbers, either here, or in standard Dewey 21. In the “standard” relative index they do however receive entries, identifying the general number for the Mass. In this index such headings either do not receive an entry at all, or have a “see” reference to the more general heading. The user is expected in a case like this to choose the “closest” specific number – in other words, look for the specific subject, and if it is not there, look for a more general heading that subsumes the subject concerned (in this case, of course, the number for the Eucharist, or Mass).
·
We have resisted the temptation to
include too many topics in the index based on “built numbers” (other than
examples of applications of the “common topic” system referred to above). Only
subjects specifically covered in the schedules (plus a selection of those that
can be built) are indexed here. The purpose of this policy is twofold. Firstly,
it sets a clear limit on the growth of the index; secondly, it keeps its basic
function clear and consistent. Above all, it is desired to encourage the very healthy practice of using the relative
index as a guide to the schedules, rather than as an alternative source of
finished class numbers.
· The above policies result in more “see” and “see also” entries than in the standard index, although the general philosophy in DDC of avoiding these where possible is endorsed. Headings deemed to be highly unlikely to be useful are not included – for instance there is no reference to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá from “Abbas Effendi”, on the grounds that the preferred heading is so much more likely to be the first one to be thought of that there is little point in including the other, especially as the two entries would be on the same page anyway. At times rather arbitrary decisions have been made as to which entries to include – and this index does not pretend to be an alphabetical listing of every possible name for every possible subject enumerated in (or able to be built from) the schedules.
· Arabic words present a transliteration problem, and we have not been consistent. For the Bahá’í Faith the older transliteration familiar to the Bahá’ís (and likely to be encountered in Bahá’í books) is followed – however the current standard transliteration, as per DDC 21 and most modern references, is used for Islamic names and subject headings. (Thus “Koran” rather than “Q’uran”).
· The spaces printed in many numbers in this index have no significance whatsoever – their purpose is simply to beak long numbers into more easily legible portions. Thus “298.261 38” is exactly the same thing as “298.26138” – although it may be a little easier to read.
