Abstract

Compares the procedure for the synthesis of Class Number by the conventional method with the one using a general purpose computer. Suggests modified postulational method for the formulation of Kernel Terms. Discusses several problems in the Verbal Plane in naming the isolates in a classification schedule and the kernel ideas in a subject which may lead to homonym in Class Number. Gives some guidelines for the structuring of Kernal Terms and Isolate Terms to ensure a correct matching between such terms denoting one and the same idea.

Abstract

Describes the procedure and gives flow-charts for the operation of a general-purpose computer for the transfer on to magnetic tape a schedules of BASIC Subjects, schedules of Special Isolates for subjects going with different Basic Subjects, and schedules of Common Isolates of different kinds. Mentions the technique used in identifying a specific schedule and the symbols to indicate the use of a particular Colon Classification Device in forming Isolate Number.

Abstract

Describes a step-by-step procedure for the formation of Isolate Number, using a general purpose computer, (1) according to the rules of Colon Classification for Alphabetical Device, Numerical Device, Environment Devvice, Geographical Device, and Chronological Device, and (2) for an isolate deemed to be a manifestation of the Fundamental Category either of Space or of Time. Also describes the assembly of the Basic Class Number and the Isolate Numbers to form Class Number retaining the helpful sequence of the isolate ideas arrived at in the idea plane. Gives flow-charts of the computer operations.
