Abstract
This article would like to present an approach that shows how the library of the University of Konstanz – and other libraries with a house system – can stick to their own system and still benefit from the subject indexing work of other libraries. A concept is presented that shows how similarity relations between verbal subject indexing, RVK, DDC and in-house systematics can be created using semantic web technology, which allow subject indexing information to be translated into other classification systems and thus make automation in subject indexing possible
