Fächergruppen, Lehr- und Forschungsbereiche, Fachgebiete (subject groups, teaching and research fields, subject areas)

This repository contains a machine-readable representation of the Destatis Systematik der Fächergruppen, Lehr- und Forschungsbereiche und Fachgebiete (Classification system of teaching and research fields and subject areas), 2025 version.

To the best of our knowledge, the original version is published by Destatis only as a PDF, and the same applies to the German and English tables published by the DFG as a reference for their annual survey. Conversion here was partially scripted and partially manual (copy-pasting and splitting or combining lines). All code is included and re-runnable, but, due to the manual nature of the process, it does not form a neat pipeline. The English labels are included, where available, as provided by the DFG. No additional translation was performed.

Contents

  • all_records.toml is a simple and generic representation with numerical Destatis identifiers as keys; levels are nested within each other
  • all_records.ttl is a representation based on the Datalad concepts' things v2 schema (and, as such, loosely based on SKOS)
  • all_records.jsonl is a JSON Lines version of the above, with simple keys (no -LD context)
  • subject-classification-stabu.org is the content of the English version of the DFG table, manually sorted and with org-mode headers
  • *.txt files are more all less directly parsed from the PDFs
