Hi, please could you explain the meaning of the bolded fragment of the sentence?
Seit dem Bibliografiejahrgang 2004 erhält jede Publikation eine Sachgruppe, die thematische Gliederung in etwa hundert Sachgruppen folgt der Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation.

It means that since 2004 every publication has been categorized into one of about 100 topics based on Dewey’s clarification system: Dewey Decimal Classification - Wikipedia

Please let me know if this makes sense.

You are welcome, Irina. The original German sentence is rather long winded in written in a language used by typical German burecrats who love to sound complicated.

This sentence was taken from the article. I guess scienific German differs from everyday German greatly. I noticed German scientists like making advanced sentences and using special lexis.
