Since we classify almost all literature catalogued by the DNB with DDC (after the LoC we're the second largest supplier of DDC notations in the world!) we can offer access to our publications based on that classification. The aim behind CrissCross is rather to offer an enhanced access vocabulary for DDC classified publications by using the descriptors and synonyms from the SWD and then find the proper DDC class from the SWD/DDC-Mapping.
