Dewey is available under an open license

There is explicit versioning of DDC classes in place (and we use it for non-editorial purposes)
| 21 | Building the future of DDC: Translations, technology and transition 2003 - 2013 | April 11, 20139
$ curl -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://dewey.info/class/332.45/e23/about
The DDC is a fully faceted classification (and we use those facets!)
| 21 | Building the future of DDC: Translations, technology and transition 2003 - 2013 | April 11, 201310
639.5809483(Fishing for shellfish in south-west Norway)
639.5(Crustacean fisheries)
595.388(Natantia (Shrimps))
T2--483(Sørlandet and Vestlandet)
2. DDC is (even) more interoperable

We have mappings between DDC and other KOS

SÄO RAMEAU
CCLots of KOSI don‘t know
There is an infrastructure in place to distribute those mappings

3. The integration of DDC into user interfaces is mainstream
| 21 | Building the future of DDC: Translations, technology and transition 2003 - 2013 | April 11, 201315
… and then you just apply the filter here and you‘ve found everything
on Swedish reindeer.
Wow!
For end users we have a seamless inte-gration into catalogues and library portals
| 21 | Building the future of DDC: Translations, technology and transition 2003 - 2013 | April 11, 201316
Cataloguers’ interfaces evaluate third party information and suggest further access points
| 21 | Building the future of DDC: Translations, technology and transition 2003 - 2013 | April 11, 201317
Major websites use Dewey as one way to organize their content
