I have found there is a copy of the Dewey Decimal system in project
gutenberg at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/12513/12513-h/12513-h.htm. The
release date is 4th June 2004. I am not sure if this is the release date of
the gutenberg file or of the actual Dewey Decimal document itself I know
that the DDC was revised in 2004. Anyway, the point is that the gutenberg
project publishes stuff that is out of copyright. They tend to be quite
careful about that. So doesn't this mean that DSpace could use the
classification categories described in this document? I am ware that the DDC
was copyrighted in 1876 by Melvil Dewey. I presume gutenberg has the
document because that copyright expired.
