The Principles of Classification of the Printed music , often shortened in PCDM , are a Classification developed in the public libraries in France since 1983, especially for the collections of Document S in bond with the Musique, according to a diagram corresponding better to the concerns of the public than the Decimal system of Dewey as regards the music.
History
The first version related to practically only the discs.
Version 4 was published in 2002 in the collective work Musique in library under the direction of Yves Alix and Gilles Pierret, Éditions of the Circle of the Bookstore, collection Bibliothèques (ISBN 2-7654-0843-2).
This version 4 has as an ambition to as well as allow the quotation (material classification) of all the types of documents (discs, books, vidéos, etc) their analytical indexing.
It is a decimal system, which can be integrated besides in the Decimal system of Dewey, in substituent with the indices of the section Dewey 780.
The evolution of this classification is ensured by a special subcommittee of the ACIM, Association for the Co-operation of the professionals of Musical Information.
