Dewey Decimal System

When the time comes we will need to decide how subjects and topics are to be divided. For example, would we class Japanese and Chinese studies under one 'Language' network, or allocate a separate one for each?

Also, many skills cross over into different subjects. Topics such as Gaming Design may involve both computer programming and designing skills.

For these reasons, a basic layout of subject areas needs to be in place, to group the different schools by network and a good starting point would be the Dewey Decimal System.

This time honoured library classification system will be the ideal basis for deciding which subjects will go into which networks, and I would like to propose it as the long term guide, when the classification of networks needs to be decided.
