Arrange the following classification schemes in a sequence of their year of publication :
(a) DDC
(b) CC
(c) Broad System of Ordering
(d) UDC
Answer: A
In order of publication the schemes run (a) (d) (b) (c).
- DDC: 1876, Melvil Dewey.
- UDC: 1905, the first full edition by Otlet and La Fontaine, based on DDC.
- CC: 1933, S.R. Ranganathan.
- Broad System of Ordering: 1978, prepared for UNESCO's UNISIST programme.
DDC is the oldest and BSO by far the newest. The option listing (a) (b) (c) (d) misplaces UDC, which came before Ranganathan's scheme, and the other two options do not start with DDC at all.
