| Title: | UDC as it could be made |
| Authors: | Sen, B K |

| Abstract: | It has been observed that during the last half a century, UDC has become more comprehensive on the one hand and more
eomplex on the other; more class numbers have been vacated than filled up; verbal expressions (verbexes) of class numbers in
large number of cases are riddled with superf1uous words, sentence-like expressions, out-of-date headings, unnecessary clusters,
inappropriate, confusing and misplaced headings. As a result many of them are not index-friendly, not even index-worthy.
Suggestions have been put forth to ensure more simple class numbers, relocate some classes to more logical positions, reduction
in the length of many class numbers, and index-friendly subject headings. |
