QUESTION 1
1.1 Comedy television shows
Subject analysis
The principal subject is television programmes, with comedy identifying the genre of the
programmes. The subject is therefore classified under the performing arts rather than under
literature or the general classification for comedy.
The relevant DDC hierarchy begins at 791 – Public performances. Within this hierarchy,
791.45 represents television, while 791.457 represents television programmes. The more
specific notation 791.4572 represents fictional television series and specials.
Number construction
791 — Public performances
791.45 — Television
791.457 — Television programmes
791.4572 — Fictional television series and specials
No Table 1 or Table 2 subdivision is required because the subject statement does not specify
a geographic area, language, period or other characteristic requiring additional number
construction.
Final classification
791.4572 — Comedy television shows
, 1.2 Description of hotels in London in English drama of the 19th century
Subject analysis
The dominant discipline is English drama, which is classified under 822. The subject
statement contains several additional characteristics: the nineteenth-century literary period,
descriptive treatment, hotels as the subject, and London as the geographic area.
The DDC instructions for English drama permit the construction of a more specific notation
by incorporating the relevant literary-period and subject-treatment subdivisions. Table 3 is
applicable to the literary subject, while Table 2 is used for the geographic element.
Number construction
822 — English drama
822.5 — English drama of the specified nineteenth-century literary period
+ 09 — Description or critical treatment
Therefore:
822.5 + 09 = 822.509
The subject hotels is represented by the appropriate Table 3C subdivision:
822.509 + 32 = 822.50932
The geographic specification London is then added using Table 2. London is represented by
421:
822.50932 + 421 = 822.50932421
Number-building formula
