- Abstract
A new lexicon of all knowledge fields in the German language with the terms of the fields in English is under preparation. The article is meant to provide an idea of its genesis and its structure. It will, of course, also contain an alphabetical arrangement of entries. The structure is provided by the Information Coding Classification (ICC), which is a theory-based, faceted universal classification system of knowledge fields. Section (1) outlines (1) its early history (1970-77). Section (2) discusses its twelve principles regarding concepts, conceptual relationships, and notation; its 9 main object area classes arranged on integrative levels, and its systematic digital schedule with its systematizer, offering 9 subdividing aspects. It shows possible links with other systems, as well as the system's assets for interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. Providing concrete examples, section (3) describes the contents of the nine levels, section (4) delineates some issues of subject group/domain construction, and section (5) clarifies the lexicon entries.
