Abstract

Considering universality an intentional feature but not exempt from problems in classification systems such as the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), we present a proposal for a web application that enables the creation of local adaptations of the UDC according to the interests of the communities of diverse contexts and that allows semantic interoperability with other contexts using a mapping with the official tables of the Master Reference File (MRF) as a switching language. The work also presents scientific and theoretical resources on structural and linguistic biases of knowledge organization systems, with special emphasis on the case of the CDU, in order to present tools to correct them in the local adaptations. We considered that critical proposals such as the present one constitute an alternative to the technical and aseptic visions to promote the relevance of traditional knowledge organization systems such as the UDC in digital environments.
