This is instalment 1 on the re-building of CC Schedule for Economics. During the last half a century, CC has been developing in the light of the General Theory of Library Classification and of the development in the Universe of Subjects. It has now reached Stage 8 - that of Freely Faceted Stage. While preparing Ed 7, incorporating all the latest findings, difficulty was felt in the revision of the Main Subject "X Economics". The absence of Standard. Terminology and the abstract nature of the subject have been causing difficulties. In re-doing Economics, one of the new ideas used is that of Adjunct Main Subject. The first cluster of the Adjunct Main Subjects going with "X Economics-in-Theory" consists of "XV Economics-in-Action in a territory and in a business enterprise in a territory", and "XX Economics-in-Theory in business enterprise". The - other subjects of the cluster - XYA International Economics (with its own Adjunct Main Subjects), XYT Econometrics, and XYV Economico-cybernetics will be taken up in a future instalment of this sub-series. This instalment deals only with the schedules for the Personality Isolates. The schedule for (1P1) of "X Economics-in-Theory" is derived from the comparative study of the six schemes - DC, UDC, LC, CC, BC, and RIC. The schedules for Property Isolates, Energy Isolates, and Method Isolates, and the Isolates for Round 2 will be taken up in a future instalment of this sub-series.

Abstract


This is instalment 1 on the re-building of CC Schedule for Economics. During the last half a century, CC has been developing in the light of the General Theory of Library Classification and of the development in the Universe of Subjects. It has now reached Stage 8 - that of Freely Faceted Stage. While preparing Ed 7, incorporating all the latest findings, difficulty was felt in the revision of the Main Subject "X Economics". The absence of Standard. Terminology and the abstract nature of the subject have been causing difficulties. In re-doing Economics, one of the new ideas used is that of Adjunct Main Subject. The first cluster of the Adjunct Main Subjects going with "X Economics-in-Theory" consists of "XV Economics-in-Action in a territory and in a business enterprise in a territory", and "XX Economics-in-Theory in business enterprise". The - other subjects of the cluster - XYA International Economics (with its own Adjunct Main Subjects), XYT Econometrics, and XYV Economico-cybernetics will be taken up in a future instalment of this sub-series. This instalment deals only with the schedules for the Personality Isolates. The schedule for (1P1) of "X Economics-in-Theory" is derived from the comparative study of the six schemes - DC, UDC, LC, CC, BC, and RIC. The schedules for Property Isolates, Energy Isolates, and Method Isolates, and the Isolates for Round 2 will be taken up in a future instalment of this sub-series.
