In 1876 Melvil Dewey created the Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classification system. It has been revised and expanded through 23 major editions, the latest issued in 2011. Dewey was responsible for all revisions until his death in 1931.

A library assigns a DDC number that unambiguously locates a particular volume to within a short length of shelving which makes it easy to find any particular book and return it to its proper place on the library shelves. The system is used in 200,000 libraries in at least 135 countries.

So the Dewey decimal system call number relates to the subject the book is about and where in Dewey classification system it falls.

The call numbers in the Dewey Decimal System relate to specific subjects or topics. They are used to organize and categorize books in libraries based on their content. Each call number corresponds to a unique subject classification within the system.

The Dewey decimal system isn't a numbering system. It is an organizing system used by the library.
