    Abstract
    Survey on the activities going to develop the UDC into a fully faceted classification system according to the Recommendations of the UDC Management Board. A Master Reference File (MRF) has been created from which any publisher or insitution may develop its own versions according to the requests of its clientele. The UDC Technical Director at the FID Headquarters in The Hague maintains the file. An Editorial Board and an Editor in Chief was appointed. Extensions and Corrections are being published. Examples are given on ongoing revision work in the classes for Astronomy, Linguistics and Philology as well as in Medicine. Cooperation with the Editors of the Bliss Classification and the DDC exists

    Abstract
    UDC is used by a number of national bibliographies but it can not be described as a standard. Explores reasons which hinders its use. Gives reason why it has not achieved international status discussing the application of the classification and its management. Decribes recent efforts to improve the situation

    Abstract
    An exploratory and experimental study for the purpose of testing a methodology which might be used to restructure the UDC class by class. The study uses the facet framework established in the Bliss Bibliographic Classification, 2nd ed., as the basis for the restructuring and the research is being carried out using the discipline 'medical sciences'. A thesaurus will be derived from the restructured scheme which will act as an index to it. In a broader context this research is an attempt to see how far it is possible to take the knowledge base of one classification scheme and impose the structure of another scheme on it

    Abstract
    This paper describes a survey of subject analysis research over the ten year period 1988 to 1998. Data are drawn from the 'research environment' encompassing publications, conference papers, major bibliographic resources in the field of Library and Information Science and selective searches of the Internet. Findings reveal major and minor areas of research activity. Trends and developments are identified and conclusions drawn. Strengths and weaknesses in the approaches taken to subject analysis research are discussed and suggestions for improvements are made with a view to future research directions

    Abstract
    Points out that designers of information systems for subject retrieval aiming at some kind of uinversal usage face the major problem of context, as a word by itself is not meaningful; and inseparable from this problem is that of the terminology used. This problem is most evident in systems that rely totally on words, rather than a systematic structure of some kind

    Abstract
    Outlines the bibliographic enterprise envisaged by Otlet and LaFontaine, which resulted in the UDC being developed in 1895, and the subsequent history of the scheme. Relationship with DDC from which it was derived deteriorated in the early 20th century and changes in funding, location, and editorship of Duyvis from 1929-59 had a profound effect on the scheme's development and management. Lloyd, Duyvis successor, reformed the revision structure, and further management changes from 1975 to the present day, culminated in the formation of the UDC Consortium in 1992. Notes the subsequent creation of a machine-readable Master Reference File and speedier revision procedures. Examines the scheme's structure, development, and influence on classification theory, problems caused by longevity and lack of standrad procedures, and highlights proposals for their reform to improve the scheme's suitability for an automated world. Explores research projects in 1960s which foreshadowed possibilities today, such as a complementary thesaurus and individualisation of single concepts notationally. Emphasizes the value of classification in a multilingual environment and outlines the future developments

    Abstract
    Editors of long-standing classifications have to adopt their schemes to totally different circumstances from those they were originally designed to suit. The need to retrieve information accurately in an online environment and a world dominated by the Internet is vital and contrasts with the basic linear approach for which these classifications were intended. The latter need still has to be satisfied, so ways of achieving both goals must be explored. The need for greater synthesis, clearly defined factes, with distinctive notation and a closely adhered to citation order is essential. An expressive notation is attractive in an online environmen. Modern educational approaches make traditional structures meaningless and the current economic climate and expense of developing new publication formats is reducing revision budgets. Co-operation between editors and the use of one scheme, e.g. DDC, as a switching language between other schemes, e.g., UDC, thesauri and subject headings lists are one way forward. Existing co-operative projects and future plans between the editors of DDC, UDC and BC2 are discussed and the complementing of classification by a thesaurus is recommended

    Abstract
    Recent developments in the improvement of communication between those responsible for editing the general schemes of classification and their users are outlined. Increased participation in conferences, the publication of guides and manuals for aiding the implementation of general classifications, and the use of the Internet as a means of communicating are all ways in which users hear more about these schemes and can make their views known to those responsible for maintaining them. Increased communication at editorial level, including coordination of current developments and future revisions, is discussed. The Dewey Decimal Classification, the Library of Congress Classification, the Universal Decimal Classification, and the Bliss Bibliographic Classification (BC2) are reviewed and the ways in which each communicates with its users and participates in joint enterprises are noted.
