A teoria das classificações analítico-sintéticas, ou facetadas, e a sua influência sobre a reforma da Classificação Decimal Universal (CDU)

Abstract

General failure of enumerative classifications led librarians and documentalists to reject all classifications as information retrieval tools. UDC as a semifaceted scheme most probably inspired Ranganathan in formulation and development of his theories. If UDC is to fulfill the requirements of modem documentation it must employ basic principles of faceted classifications in order iochange into a fully faceted classification.
