 (a.k.a. subject ontogeny)\, and the comparative discursive analysis of met
 adata creation and evaluation\, both contemporary and historical.Résumé 
 de la conférence :Classification schemes change over time.  This talk wil
 l show two cases of classification scheme change: eugenics and anatomy in 
 the Dewey Decimal classification from 1876 to the present\, drawn from cat
 alogues from the U.S.\, Canada\, New Zealand\, Australia\, countries in As
 ia and Europe.  I will draw a timeline of editions\, show when class numbe
 rs changed (according to both the schedule and relative index)\, and show 
 where cataloguers placed books with both eugenics and anatomy as first sub
 ject headings.  These timelines show us how strange is the practice of 'co
 llocation' in classification.  From these cases we can begin to identify t
 he degrees and impact of change\, coming closer to the ability to benchmar
 k a threshold of change.
