Abstract

The genres and subgenres used to organize fiction in seven online bookstores, as well as by the OCLC network and in Wikipedia, are compared with those covered by the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT). The genres assigned to a sample of common titles were also compared. The genre schemes of the bookstores and Wikipedia differed markedly from LCGFT and the OCLC list, while the genres used for particular titles differed markedly even amongst bookstores. As well as differences due to domain, geography would also appear to be a major factor.

书店和图书馆的小说类型：商业分类和专业分类的比较

摘要

将用于组织七个在线书店以及OCLC网络和Wikipedia中的小说的类型和子类型与美国国会图书馆的类型/形式术语（LCGFT）进行了比较。还比较了分配给常见标题样本的体裁。书店和Wikipedia的体裁方案与LCGFT和OCLC列表明显不同，而即使在书店之间，用于特定书名的体裁也明显不同。除了由于领域而引起的差异外，地理也似乎是一个主要因素。
