Content

E&C 2004 has a generous collection of articles an UDC drawn from the proceedings of the Eighth International ISKO Conference (McIlwaine, 2004), held in London in July 2004. Four of the articles from the conference are republished here with the authors' consent. A fifth article by a conference attendee appears to be a reworking of his conference paper. Two of these articles focus an the development and extension of the UDC system. "A question of place" by I.C. McIlwaine, Editor of UDC, is a product of her research carried out in conjunction with the overhaul of UDC auxiliary Table le. It discusses problems and solutions related to developing and maintaining an area table in the face of a number of factors - history, politics, administration, colonialism, regions political and non-political, as well grammar, language and scripts. "Complementary and alternative medicine: Its place in the reorganized medical sciences in the Universal Decimal Classification," by Nancy J. Williamson addresses the question of how to deal with topics in the field of alternative medicine and their location and organization in the proposed revision of UDC Class 61. This is a volatile and growing field that exists, partially but not fully, outside what has in the past been deemed to be "traditional" medicine. Whatever classification system is used, the lines of division in the discipline are unclear and constantly changing, demanding a system that is flexible and responsive enough to handle the volatility involved. Two of the articles deal with specific applications of UDC. "Knowledge organization of the Universal Decimal Classification - New solutions and user friendly methods from Hungary" by Agnes Hajdu Barát concentrates an the optimization of searching using UDC Codes and structure.
