BSI and UDCC announce UDC Online replacement service
English speaking users of UDC will be able to access this new UDC Consortium UDC Online service from 26 August 2013. BSI’s UDC Online will be closing from 1 October 2013.
The upgraded UDC Online service offers improved searching and browsing functions and several new features such as access to cancelled numbers and alphabetical chain index.
BSI UDC Online, released in Spring 2001, was the first online classification tool of its kind in the bibliographic domain and has been serving users for over 10 years.
The new UDC Online is a part of the multilingual UDC hub-service driven directly from the UDC Master Reference File (MRF) database and run by the UDC Consortium (The Hague). The new online service has been developed to bring together and align existing translations with the regularly updated knowledge content of the UDC. The tool aims to provide a better, up-to-date and more convenient service for users world-wide. The English version will be the first edition to be made available online.
