Dear people who know more about Wikibooks categories than I do: If you want to use both the Dewey Decimal and LC classification systems, wouldn't it be a good idea to include as categories the terms used here, such as Manufacturing and Commerce? Thank you. 71.198.176.22 (talk) 02:23, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Frankly the DDC and LOC systems don't have much applicability to an electronic medium; we have no need to worry about shelving books back in the exact same spot on a physical bookshelf. I'd rather do without them entirely, but I can't get enough input from others to go ahead and remove them. -- Adrignola talk contribs 03:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think controlled vocabulary identifiers are useful. I use PubMed a lot because that's where all the secondary peer reviewed medical literature can easily be found, and I like their thesaurus-based expansion of terms which is made possible by controlled vocabulary identifiers in MeSH. Thomson-Reuters' "Web of Science" (formerly ISI's Science Citation Index) also uses controlled vocabulary identifiers along with uncontrolled user- and indexer-supplied descriptor terms.  Once people start calling it an ontology, sometimes people will get more interested. 71.198.176.22 (talk) 21:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
