Thanks for the advice. It’s good to get confirmation from the experts.

Naomi,
�
I am also looking at the 1976 (4th ed.) and 2007 editions of the
G-schedule and the note that appears with the class number G9900 is what
Louise has shared. There is no reference to going to the subject code
table. There is no need to -- the class number of 9900 /means/ that what
is being classed is a theoretical map or maps, and therefore it is not
necessary to apply a subject code to the class number. It also means
that one does not change the 4th digit to a "1" -- which is what one
does when turning to the G1 table to apply a subject code from that
table. The subject is inherent in the class number. In my opinion,
whomever created bib. records for similar maps that you found in OCLC
mis-applied the classification number and you should use G9900.

Hi Naomi,
I�looked in Classification Web under G9900 and here is what it says:
G9900��Theoretical maps.
���������������“Class here maps whose primary intent is the illustration
or definition of terms and concepts and maps designed to illustrate
methods of map making. Class maps of a determinable geographic area with
the area.”
It does not reference a table of any kind.
Sorry I can’t be of further help L
Louise

I am cataloging several theoretical maps, with no specific geographic
location. At the end of the G schedule is G9900-G9980 for ‘Unlocalized
maps’ with G9900 for ‘Theoretical maps’. By looking at similar type
records in OCLC it looks like Table G1 has been applied leading to
classification G9901 followed by a subject number. This appears logical
and useful but using online Classification Web I cannot see the
instruction to use a table. Please can someone advise on current practice?
Thanks for any help
Naomi
