[Web4lib] Build the Open Shelves Classification

[Alain D. M. G. Vaillancourt]

He wasn't part of my 2 year master's in library science program.  He
was mentioned only briefly.  I read up on him by myself and found him
opaque and even perhaps dangerous.  But to really denounce his ideas as
dangerous I would really have to completely understand them first.
