UDC: Structure (375 words) |
 | Like the DDC, the UDC is based on the decimal system: every number is thought of as a decimal fraction with the initial point omitted, and this determines the filing order, but, for ease of reading, it is usually punctuated after every third digit. |
| In UDC, all recorded knowledge is treated as a coherent system, built of related parts, in contrast to a specialized classification, in which related subjects are treated as subsidiary even though in their own right they may be of major importance. |
| The UDC is a synthetic classification, which means that the enumerated classes are the building blocks whereby compound and complex classes may be denoted by the various synthetic notational devices (such as -,=,+,/). |

| UDC is reported in aggregate on Line 9B of the OCSE -34A Report. |
