Abstract

Published experiences dealing with the use of data processing equipment in conjunction with classification systems, particularly the UDC, are reviewed. Earlier conclusions, generalized from experience with punched card equipment, were too pessimistic. Difficulties in handling UDC notation in computer systems and methods for overcoming them are discussed. Ways in which computers can aid in studying, improving, and using classification systems are discussed. Experience at Meteorological and Geoastrophysical Abstracts is cited.
