The schedules of the UDC have been designed to represent the true subject content of the documents. The U D C has come a long way since 1937 when the first English edition was published. Since then it has undergone many revisions; the latest being the 1985 edition. An attempt has been made, to review this edition exhaustively and to bring out its salient features. The review is based on the practical use of 1964 English edition and 1985 English medium edition. A mention has also been made of the topics that are relevant but not included in the revision, with a view that they may be considered in future revisions.
