Translating ICONCLASS into BCC
The strategy is to employ Cutter numbers for particulars. The BCC will provide direct translations for non-particular classes below, and identify a non-particular class into which individual works can fit. The details of the BCC can be found at Basic Concepts Classification (Web version 2013)
Class 0 is abstract and non-representational art. There are no subclasses here but references to terminology such as ‘light’ which occur elsewhere in the schedules. The BCC allows such art to be classified in terms of a variety of shapes, colours, materials and so on.
1 · Religion and Magic CR CRw is witchcraft/occult
10 · (symbolic) representations ~ creation, cosmos, cosmogony, universe, and life (in the broadest sense) This is a pretty vague class. →ri is imitate; QI8 is symbolic so →riQI8 is imitate symbolically; →gc is create; Class Z, celestial objects needs to be fleshed out, but Z likely stands for universe. Religious treatment of the creation of the universe can be signaled by adding CR.
11A · Deity, God (in general) ~ Christian religion CR2g^CR1c God the creator, divine nature, and God’s wrath can each be captured easily through compounds.
11B · the Holy Trinity, 'Trinitas coelestis'; Father, Son and Holy Ghost ~ Christian religion
CR6a is religious figures, with Cutter numbers used to designate particular figures. The trinity may require special treatment. Trinity represented by tripartite symbols [again →riQI8 is imitate symbolically]; by object or animal [/FK5 by animal] object is handled at present by NA in human shape [/G] Extensions of [stipulate particular influences on or of] Divine decree of redemption [this is, notably, something quite different, best captured as god talking about salvation: CR2g →rt CR4]
11C · God the Father CR2g^IR1(SG2) >CR1c [god associated with father/child relationship in Christianity]
11D · Christ CR6a >CR1c (Cutter for Jesus)
11E · the Holy Ghost CR6a >CR1c (Cutter for Holy Ghost?] [Note CR6ag is ghost]
11F · the Virgin Mary CR6a >CR1c (Cutter for Virgin Mary]
11G · angels CR6aa >CR1c ICONCLASS has 9 choirs of angels, hierarchy of angels which we might treat as classes SOC of angels ; then activities, fighting, and aspects; these last 3 are best captured through compounds.
11H · saints CR6as >CR1c ICONCLASS distinguishes by gender, adds names
11I · prophets, sibyls, evangelists, Doctors of the Church; persons ~ the Bible (not in biblical context) CR6ap >CR1c ; sybils are female prophets (see below) in ancient Greece; →rsrst ^CR1c is persuading associated with Christianity; can use Cutter numbers for individuals. Leaders are (→rs / I)(CR1j)
11K · devil(s) and demons CR6ad >CR1c distinguishes in animal form; in non-human/animal form (best captured by stating what form they are); worshipping of; activities of (best to stipulate particular activities) [all are best captured through compounds.]
11L · Christian doctrine CR6 >CR1c Old and New Testament; Ten Commandments [Cutter]; Articles of faith [CR6 (QF1) necessary doctrine could add ‘important’ QF3], confession [CR8c], catechism [→ie CR6^GA6b summarizing doctrine]; canon law [PI4 (CR1c) – PI3a laws of the church] ; theology [TF (CR1c)]; books [T4 (CR1C)]; heretical doctrine [CR6( →idrc) disagreed doctrine]
11M · 'Sapientia' and the Seven Virtues, i.e. the Three Theological and the Four Cardinal Virtues We can talk generally of CV^CR1C [values associated with Christianity], and link each of the 7 in particular: Piety [→gb CRic; being Christian], faith [→ib CR1c; believing Christianity], godliness [→ri CR2g; modelling god] plus prudence [IC conscientiousness], temperance [CV2n], fortitude [CV2m courage], justice [CV3j]. If we want some way of signaling the 3,4 and 7 collectively, this could be done by linking synthetically to numbers within class X.
11N · Vice, and the Seven Deadly Sins Vice is →rd CV; not demonstrating virtue Symbolized [→riQI8 as in 10 above], Personified [^I] , Venial [^→sp, proceeding to afterlife], ‘forgive’ can be not faultfinding IF7. Unbelief →ib Could indicate seven sins by association with →HM cause mortality. wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy gluttony,are not listed individually in ICONCLASS but can each be captured by associating vice with attitudes toward vengeance, wealth, work, recognition, sex, wealth of others, and food (last under GM, rest in CV)
11O · strife between Virtues and Vices [conflict is →rx] , Psychomachy [conflict between body and soul: GNx →rx GA1]
11P · the Church (as institution) PI4 (CR1c) [PI4f for local church] NB8 (CR1c) for the building
11Q · the worship of God CV8 / CR2g
11R · the life of man This is very vague
11S · heaven, celestial paradise, New Earth CV2h
11T · hell and purgatory CV2l; CV2p
11U · Last Judgement →ie(N2x)G→sp^CR1c [Judging for the last time whether humanity proceeds to afterlife, associated with Christianity; Note that the same idea appears in other religions such as Islam]
11V · the (seven) Acts of Mercy →iaIF1\SOC5 acting sympathetic for disadvantaged
12 · non-Christian religions (including institutions, customs and antiquities) CR^CR1c [but such a designation will rarely be necessary; we should want a classification that does not privilege a particular religion.]
12A · Jewish religion and culture CR1j Synagogue PI4f(CR1j) God CR2g>CR1j Laws CR1j – PI3a Practices CR1j – CR8 Temple NB8 (CR1j) Spiritual leaders (→rs / I)(CR1j) Festivals CE9^CR1j The Jews SE (Cutter for Jews) [Note that this is a quite different class than the rest.] Symbols, fashions, ideas etc. This diverse subclass mixes many things. Symbol CR1j(QI8) Fashion is CE5(CR1j) Ideas are best treated as doctrine. Anti-semitism SL (SE Cutter for Jews)

12L · Germanic and Scandinavian religions CR^N1cde(QT3); CR^N1be(QT3)(N3n North, or Cutter for Scandinavia)
12M · Slavonic and other European and Central-Asian religions (including Basque, Finnish, and Magyar religions) Each of these can be designated as above with connections to places and times.

7 · Bible CR6 Doctrine has subdivisions for religious figures in general and prophets and saints in particular. Individuals can then be indicated by Cutter numbers. The Bible will be designated, as will each book within (and chapters could also be designated). It is thus possible to identify each of the stories below by identifying books and key people. An important improvement could be achieved by indicating the nature of a story (e.g. Solomon deciding parenthood). This would help those who remember a story but not who was involved, and those seeking a particular type of story. This is done to some extent in the subdivisions (not listed here) but not in a manner that facilitates search by story type.

92A · the Olympian gods together: Jupiter, Juno, Neptune, Ceres, Apollo, Diana, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Minerva, Vulcan, Vesta (or Bacchus) These can all be designated as CR2g with Cutter.

98A · events and situations from classical history Allegorical and mythological were dealt with below. I would carefully distinguish myth from history.
