Broader concept

Note

  • When the colon is used to link auxiliary numbers with biterminal signs (i.e. parentheses or quotation marks), the resultant compound number is enclosed within a single set of signs, e.g. (44:450). If required, the type of relationship between two concepts, such as bias phase, comparison, influence etc. may be further specified using common auxiliaries of phase relations -042 (Table 1k)

Scope note

  • The relation sign : (colon) indicates relationship between two or more subjects by connecting their UDC numbers. Unlike the plus and stroke (Table 1a), the colon restricts rather than extends the subjects it connects

Example

  • 17:7 Ethics in relation to art
  • 37-042.3:32 Influence of politics on education
  • 37-042.4:004 Use of computers in education
