10. www.kb.se Representations of levels of education In Scandinavia, the compulsory education (0-9) is often treated as a unit in the literature. We have added an option to recognize this Kinds and types of schools

11. www.kb.se Elementary education in specific subjects Provisions for topics in elementary education in specific subjects 372.3- 372.8 elementary education in specific subjects : Review of all the numbers to make them reflect current curriculums Language arts revised to reflect language of edition and official and second languages

12. www.kb.se Policy issues related to education and the state in 379 The presentation of policy issues related to education and the state in 379 Update the DDC, make it reflect the recent process of harmonization (Bologna process) that takes place in Europe Provide notation to show support and control by regional intergovernmental organizations

13. www.kb.se Suggestions for additions and changes throughout 370 False friends and American bias 372.65 *Foreign languages and bilingual instruction What does ”foreign” mean in a multilingual country? Kindergarten A German word, borrowed by many other languages Different meaning in different languages and also within a single language –Preschool education in general –Part time preschool for children during the last year(s) before school start –Prescool education based on the ideas of Friedrich Fröbel

17. www.kb.se Geographic subdivision of 931-939 / T2—31-39 Expansions for European regions and countries. Some examples: T2—368 *‡Scandinavia to 481 [formerly —363] Add to base number —368 the numbers following —48 in —481–489, e.g.,Denmark —3689; however, for Finland, see —4897 T2—369 *‡Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland to 486 [all formerly —364] Add to base number —369 the numbers following —49 in —492–494, e.g., Germanic regions in Netherlands —36921, Raetia —36947 [both formerly —363], Germania Inferior —3692, Belgica —3693, Helvetia —36943 [all formerly —364] For Raetia in Austria, see —36364 But not for all European regions and countries. Examples: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Finland, Russia

18. www.kb.se Geographic subdivision of 931-939 (continued) The Roman Empire bias is still there, but explicit instead of implicit T2—395 2 *‡Sarmatia Class here *Ukraine to 640

19. www.kb.se Chronological subdivision of 931-939 (proposal) 930.11 Eolithic period discontinued The time periods in 930.1 further subdivided Chronological divisions in 936 (Europe north and west of Italian Peninsula to ca. 499), using the same general pattern as in 930.1 Examples (proposed new numbers underlined) 930.12Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age) 930.122Lower Paleolithic Age Including Acheulian culture 930.125Midlde Paleolithic Age Including Mousterian culture 930.128Upper Paleolithic Age Including Aurignacian culture, Solutrean culture

20. www.kb.se Chronological subdivision of 931-939 (continued) The fixed end date of 930-939 is a problem In some areas there is a collision between the general periods used in archaeology (Stone Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age) and the historical periods

21. www.kb.se Remaining issues The Roman Empire bias… Further geographic division to provide for the regions in a country Provide for archaeological works on later periods in 930 instead of classing them in 940-999 Archaeology does not have the status of a discipline in DDC, but it is a discipline Is it a problem to mix early history and archaeology? Is the scattering of artefacts all over the scheme a problem if T2---3 is added showing the time and place? Does 930.1028 need to be expanded for different archaeological methods?
