International classification. 19(1992) no.4, S.195-200

Abstract

Ranganathan was the first library and information scientist to recognize the role of developmental and structural studies of subjects in knowledge representation. 'Knowledge' and 'information' are used synonymously in the article. Different types of social knowledge can be distinguished and identified, applying the concept of 'subject' as formulated by Ranganathan. The universe of subjects is a growing universe. It is being cultivated continuously. This leads to change and growth, and consequently to new structures. This concept is illustrated by taking the case study of a specific subject namely biochemistry. The article also highlihts other structural and developmental attributes of the universe of subjects as propounded by Ranganathan and points out their relevance and role in information retrieval
