       @dredmorbius I think it's slightly more than that. The article explicitly contrasts it with Dewey.

       @jonne And is written by someone with what appears to be a woefully inadequate understanding of library cataloguing systems and practices.Yes, there *are* standardised and limited vocabularies and tables of authorities.  But cross refs really are the Majickal Sauce.DDS and LoCCS were begun a century and a half ago.  Much has changed, and as a consequence bothsystems have a considerable change management process.

       @jonne I do find the works-to-tags count interesting though:  5m works, 2.7m tags

       @dredmorbius I didn't notice that. That's quite a lot of metadata.
