Dewey decimal is an example of a library system. It was first published by Melvil Dewey in 1876. The Dewey Decimal System first identifies subject matter of a book or other material (example: stereo record)--this is called a Class. It contains classes from 000 to 900. For example, Class 100 is Philosophy and psychology. Then it adds a unique identifer for that one item, listed under the subject matter coding. This identifies the specific book or other item.
