Hello DSpacers,
I would like to be able to browse the subjects hierachically. I am not sure
if DSpace can do that. What I mean is that assuming I have categorized all
my journal articles with multiple db.subject values I want to start at
science (let's say) then drill down to chemistry, then crystallography. At
the moment all these subjects are peers. How do I arrange them in a hierachy
please?
I know that Dewey Decimal (DD) is not the be-all-and-end-all but IMO it
would be useful for this. Are there any plans for DSpace to provide better
support for DD? What I would like is for DSpace to know the DD hierachy.
Then when I file an article with a very specific DD number it would generate
all the subjects that lead to it. That would be much more user-friendly that
having to file multiple dc.subject values. Do people think this would be
useful? Maybe it is over the top or impractical. I thought I would raise it
here first before putting it in as a feature request.

Andrew M.
