		UDC has been modified and extended over many years to cope with the increasing output in all disciplines, and is still under continuous review so as to take account of new developments.
		In UDC, the universe of information (all recorded knowledge) is treated as a coherent system, built of related parts, in contrast to a specialised classification, in which related subjects are treated as subsidiary even though in their own right they may be of major importance.
		UDC has always been a major international scheme, but now that the UDCC has created an international (and eventually multilingual) database, it can be developed with the maximum of consistency and efficiency, and is more than ever the reflection of an authoritative international consensus.

		Implementing a classification scheme for your library is the first step toward managing a dijalog lifestyle because it gives you a replicable, algorithmic, tractable grounding in the real world.
		In other words, a classification scheme is a method for managing the interplay of information space (your collection) and physical space (all of the items which constitute your collection, as well as the space in which they reside).
		UDC is a bit like XML that way, you can use it as a grammar and provide your own vocabulary if you need to, or extend the existing ones.
