the CrissCross Project
CrissCross – Overview

Aim:
… creation of a thesaurus-based, user-friendly research vocabulary that
facilitates search in heterogeneously indexed collections by mapping
topical headings of the German subject headings authority file
Schlagwortnormdatei (SWD) and the Dewey Decimal Classification
(DDC)

Duration: 2006 – 2010

Conducted by:
German National Library
Cologne University of Applied Sciences

Financially supported by:
German Research Foundation

CrissCross – DDC
Insights and Outlooks: A Retrospective View on
the CrissCross Project
Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC)

most widely used universal classification system

used by 200,000 libraries in over 135 countries

translated into more than 30 languages

since 2006 used by the German National Library (DNB) for subject
indexing

contains about 50,000 classes

structured by disciplines (e.g. religion, social sciences, technology, …)

CrissCross mappings can be used
 to enhance access to the DDC and to DDC-indexed documents
 to structure document sets (search result lists)
 to support conceptual exploration
