A Spatial Information System (SIS) = Geographic Information System (GIS) is an important data support component of the socio-economic development planning system. Socio-economic development planning being oriented towards the future, it has to rely on knowledge, as complete as possible, of the attributes of the components of the society the plan covers. The planner needs data / info on all the present aspects of the society and their environment, and of the recent past that created the conditions for development. It implies data on the state and trend in all sectors of economic activity–agriculture, industry, commerce, transportation, business, finance, human resources, etc.; also data / info on and from the supporting infrastructure in all these sectors–the land, fauna, flora, population, housing, nutrition, public health, education, cultural activities, and so on. A range of different categories of data / info constituting components and services – stable and dynamic–from the national , down to the village level - to be used in an integrated manner. Briefly discusses what is SIS, what support facilities it can provide, the categories of users and uses, the components of SIS-thematic cartography, inventorial cartography, different sources of data input, integration of different types of data; the different types of outputs, etc. Several illustrative examples are given.Keywords

The paper considers briefly some of the factors that influence the formation of concepts and concept terms, some problems in constructing mono-lingual and multi-lingual glossaries, and some general guiding principles for developing technical terminology mostly formulated by S.R. Ranganathan and his associate researchers in the 1940s and used in the preparation of glossaries of terms in library science (LIS) in English and other languages of India. Issues relating to borrowing terms from other languages are mentioned. The advantages of classified arrangement of terms in a glossary and steps in the preparation of a glossary of terms are discussed with examples.Keywords

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.- Air Vehicle Wing Production:Depth Classification Version of CC

A depth classification version of CC for compound Subjects going with the Host Subject Air Vehicle Wing Production is given. The methodology for the design of freely-faceted scheme for classification has been used. A large number of the isolates Constituting the different schedules for the classification of subjects going with each of the different Host Subjects for the production of the different parts and sub-assemblies of an aircraft such as Wing, Fuselage, Nose cone, Control system, and Landing system have common array divisions. Eight provisional schedules of such array divisions of isolates relevant to Subjects in the field of aircraft production are presented and their use in the formation of isolate numbers illustrated with examples. The schedules of common array divisions given are: Directional relation, Location, Shape of edge, Attributes of surface, Shape (General), Mach Number, Range of dimension, and Matetrial of construction. A provisional schedule of common organ isolates is also given. The Numerical Device is explained. The use of these devices help, in conforming to the; Canon of Helpful Sequence, the Canon of Consistent Sequence, the Canon of Scheduled Mnemonics, ,and the Law of Parsimony, in schedule building. In this way, the enumeration of isolates in the schedules has been reduced by about fifty percent. An Alphabetical Index to the schedules and a lift of twelve examples of subjects classified according to the scheme for classification are given.- Basis for Study of Compatibility, and of Compatibility of the Colon Classification with the Universal Decimal Classification

Five types of compatibility studies are possible between document-finding systems. A Basis of Reference for compatibility studies is given, in terms of the dominant purpose and of the factors in the mental set of the majority of the readers seeking the service of the system. A document-finding system should have an efficient scheme for classification built into it. The latter should be based on a sound and dynamic theory of classification. The essential features of the current general theory of classification are indicated. The extent to which CC and UDC conform to it is examined. Illustrates, with examples, the compatibility of CC-in-Theory with UDC-in-Theory and of CC-in-Action with UDC in- Action. Even though UDC-in-Theory may not be fully compatible with CC-in-Theory, UDC-in-Action can be made compatible with CC-in-Action and with the Basis of Reference with the aid of the guiding principles given in the Guide to U DC (1963). These principles are in conformity with the general theory of classification. The advantages of basing an electronic document-finding system on an efficient scheme for classification and the compatibility of CC and UDC for the purpose are mentioned. The additional advantage of using CC is indicated.- Food Technology:Depth Classification Version of CC

A depth classification version of Colon Classification for Compound Subjects going with the Host Subject Food (Production) Technology is given. The methodology for the design of freely-faceted scheme for classification has been used. The problem and its solution relating to the classification of the following kinds of subjects are highlighted: 1) A subject dealing with the processing of a variety of raw materials, each of which may be in various processed condition, to produce a single final food commodity; 2) A subject dealing with the study of the properties of a food commodity prepared in the manner mentioned. in category (1), under a variety of environmental conditions; and 3) Different subjects presenting variations in the sequence of use of the different processing operations in producing one and the same ultimate food commodity. It has been found convenient to deem an isolate idea denoting a method of processing as a manifestation of the Fundamental Category Matter. A differentiated schedule of such Method Isolates associated with each of the special Energy Isolates, is given. This has facilitated the co-extensive representation of the differences in the sequence of process in operations as given in the subject of each document, thus fully conforming to the idea of freely-faceted classification in designing the scheme. The principles used in the arrangement of the isolates and quasi isolates in the different schedules are mentioned. The use of devices-such as, Alphabetical Device, Chronological Device, Numerical Device, Geographical Device, Environment Device, and 'Divide like' device has helped in achieving economy in schedule building as well as in conforming to the Canons of Helpful Sequence, Consistent Sequence, and Scheduled Mnemonics. An Alphabetical Index to the schedules and a list of sixteen examples classified according to the scheme for classification are given- Information Support for Socio-Economic Development Planning: General overview: (Part 1)

Books are/or use is Dr.S.R.Ranganathan's first of his Five Laws of Library Science, although it was the last to be verbalised. It is the principal law , the other four being implications and extensions of it. The term "book" has been defined by Ranganathan as consisting of the Soul, that is, the ideas, subjects embodied, the Subtle Body, that is, the language and the form and format of expression and presentation of the ideas/subjects embodied, and the Gross Body, that is, the physical carrier of the embodied ideas.- Information Support for Socio-Economic Development Planning.

Part 2 of the series discusses the data and information needs of urban planning, using a case study from a developing country. Urban planning is an integral part of the overall planning for socio-economic development. It is inter- disciplinary and inter-sectorial. It involves decisions regarding the options that appear open for the future and then securing their implementation, with allocation of necessary resources, such as, human, finance, material, information, etc. It has, therefore, a strong political overtone as options need to be selected which may not benefit quitably all members of the society. Planning involves societal choice about the future which in tum implies political intervention. To exercise choice calls for genuinely alternative scenarios of the future. In order that choice from among possible of.action is purposeful and deliberate, a knowledge and understanding of the present and an explicit anticipation or foresight of future consequences of present actions are required. Such knowledge and understanding can be productive if appropriate data and information needed for each of the courses of action are accessible at the right time at reasonable cost and that they are reliable. precise and presented in conveniently usable forms. Different approaches to urban planning are discussed. Information and data required for effective urban planning, their sources. and output reports that may generally be useful to urban planners are presented in some detail.Keywords

Part 3 of this series on socio-economic development planning emphasizes that any development planning exercise must be supported by a whole range of information sources and systems apart from those mentioned in Parts 1 and 2. This Part mentions various government and administrative information systems necessary to support and ensure the effective and efficient performance of the different functions of a government in its efforts at development management. Of particular importance to a developing country is to enhance the capacity of its institutions and people to generate, capture, and circulate indigenous innovations and information as well as to evaluate technical know-how obtained from other countries as to its appropriateness and viability in the context of local development needs. Information systems are to be designed to support: Internal management functions; statutory functions; public services management functions; and policy making and planning functions. The subtypes of information under each of these categories are discussed.Keywords

The principles and postulates of S.R.Ranganathan's General theory of Knowledge Classification, and the implied freely-faceted analytico-synthetic methodology provided a firm foundation for the design, development and application of subject classification, indexing, preparation of vocabulary control tools, and search and retrieval of information in conformity with his Five Laws of information service. This paper summarizes some of our experiences of the use of these normative principles in the design, development, retrieval of information from machine-readable databases, specially object-oriented specialised databases, including the design of user-interfaces and hypertext links. Enumerates some of the earlier instances of the facet method in machine-based systems beginning with Hollerith's punched card system for the U.S. Census data processing. Elaborates on Ranganathan's holistic approach to information systems and services provided by his normative principles. Mentions several of the similarities in the concepts and approach to database design and those of faceted classification system design. Examples from working systems are given to demonstrate the usefulness of selected canons and principles of classification and the analytico-synthetic methodology in database design.Keywords

Mentions the need for providing facility of browsing among the Main Entries for micro documents. Demonstrates the unhelpfulness of the Class Index Entry (CIE) with Multiple Headings derived by applying the Chain Procedure to the full class number of a micro subject. Suggests (1) deeming a micro subject as a multi-focal one; (2) its division into convenient smaller compound subjects going with one and the same Basic Subject; (3) preparing a Main Entry for each of these compound subjects; and (4) deriving (CIE) from each Class Number by applying the Chain Procedure. Also demonstrates a method of rendering the (CIE) by cyclic permutation of the terms in the Heading and reading it keeping the syntax of its language in tact.- Discovery, Duplication, and Documentation: A Case Study

Data on the rate of discovery of antibiotics and the frequency of rediscovery of known antibiotics, from different organisms, in different countries, during the period 1907-1967, are presented. The problems in deeming a rediscovery of a known antibiotic as unnecessary wastage of research potential and the role of documentation in this complex situation are mentioned. The duplication of discoveries reported in a country is the highest in the reports published in that country itself (Self-Duplication). It is also found that the number of cases of self-duplication is the highest in the same year as the publication of the original report. The curve for self-duplication has alternate peaks and troughs for the first ten years of the discovery and then falls off. The emergence of the two specialities - Biochemical Engineering and Biochemical Technology - mainly from the work on antibiotics, is pointed out. The structure of these two subjects as represented in the Colon Classification is discussed.- Catalogue-on-Tape (Non-conventional Methods in Document Retrieva1. 5)

Describes the method used in the selection of entries from the Catalogue-on-Tape in response to a query on a subject. After a precise formulation of the query, its subject is facet-analysed, and translated into a Class Number on the basis of a depth version of the Colon Classification. The computer compares, each of the digits in the Class Number for the query with each of the digits in the Class Number in each of the entries in the Catalogue-on-Tape, and selects those entries in whose Class Number a matching of the component digits with those in the Class Number for the query, is established. Mentions the provision made for print-out of the entries selected in a short as well as long format, for punching them on cards, and for transferring them on to another magnetic tape. Gives the step-by-step procedure and flow-charts used in the different stages of the work. Gives examples of queries and the print-out of the entries selected in response.- Use of Computer for the Synthesis of Class Number: A Case Study with a Freely Faceted Version of Colon Classification (Non-conventional Methods in Document Retrieva1. 7)

In an entry in the Catalogue-on-Tape (See Paper Q), slightly over 50 per cent of the space is taken up by tHe Feature Headings. Omitting the Feature Headings in the entries increased the number of entries scanned by the computer from about 6,000 per minute to 9,000 per minute. However, the provision of Feature Headings in the list of entries selected in response to a query facilitated scanning and picking out, by the reader, the entries for the most appropriate documents. To serve all these purposes, the Kernel Ideas of the subject df the document expressed in standard terms were fed into the computer when making the entry for a document forming the input. On the basis of a depth version of CC made available to the computer, it picked out and synthesised into a Class Number the corresponding Basic Facet number and Isolate numbers. Each entry in the Catalogue-on-Tape thus contained only the Class Number and the specification of the host document. The Class Number for the query was similarly synthesised by the machine, and compared it with the Class Numbers in the entries on the Catalogue-on-Tape. For each of the entries selected, the Basic Facet number and each of the Isolate Numbers in the Class Number is to be translated by the machine into the corresponding terms on the basis of the depth version of CC made available to it. These form the Feature Heading for the entry. The Steps and the Flow-charts for the synthesis of the Class Number alone are given. It is shown that, although classification as a whole is deemed an intellectual process there are a number of steps which are of a clerical nature and therefore, could be performed by the machine more efficiently and quickly. The particular advantage of a Freely-faceted version of CC in facilitating the synthesis of Class Number by the machine is pointed out.- Banking: Depth Classification Version of CC

The major ideas emerging from the FID/CR Seminar on UDC in a Mechanised Retrieval System, convened in 1968 in Copenhagen are mentioned. The implications of a universal classification system and the use of electronic machinery in a system for document finding are examined. The attributes of the universe of subjects and the psychology of readers are considered as the major factors influencing the design of a system for document finding. The need for a General Theory of Classification constituted out a hierarchy of general normative principles, laws of library science, and postulates, canons and principles for classification form the national foundation for the design and use in practice of a universal classification system. The capacity of UDC for being developed into a universal classification system are examined from this point of view. The different statements contained in the FID/CR Report about the particular attributes of UDC for its development as a universal of scheme for classification are examined from the angle of intrinsic and adventitious merits of a classification system. Concludes with suggestions about the need for change in attitude and about the new role of FID as an international organisation promoting the development of a world information network based on a universal classification system.- Steam Generator Production Engineering:Depth Version of CC

The main points of the papers presented and the concensus of the discussion at the International Symposium on UDC in Relation to Other Indexing Languages (Herceg Novi) (1971) are mentioned. The questions posed to UDC are enumerated. The emergence of these questions is viewed in the historical perspective of providing access to information on a global scale and of the development of UDC. The need for basing the design and development of UDC on a sound dynamic general theory of library classification is emphasised. It is shown that the almost impossible task of enumerating and arranging a very large number of subjects almost tending to infinity in a helpful sequence is reduced by the general theory of library classification developed in India to the enumeration and arrangement of a small number of (1) Main Subjects; (2) Basic Subjects going with one or the other of the Main Subjects; and (3) Isolates in each array in the schedule of isolates, the arrangement in a helpful sequence in these cases being determinable by H few objective principles instead of by flair.- Sequence of Component Ideas in it Subject

The postulate of Absolute Syntax that is, the sequence in which the component ideas of Compound Subjects going with a Basic Subject usually arrange themselves in the minds of the majority of normal intellectuals-was proposed in 1966. It has been suggested that the syntax of facets in a subject should parallel the Absolute Syntax. The use of the Wall-Picture Principle is securing this is indicated. The helpfulness of such a facet syntax in developing a self-perpetuating, fairly stable, consistent, and versatile scheme for classification for the universe of subjects, is discussed. The biological basis for the postulate of Absolute Syntax is mentioned. The close analogy of the trend of development of the grammar of classificatory language to that of the studies of the theory of syntax and generative grammar for natural language in the last two decades is pointed out with illustrative examples. The possibility of inter-conversion of the name of subject expressed in one natural language into another via the Class Number based on the General Theory of Library Classification, using a computer, is mentioned.- Economics of Human Resource: Depth Classification Version of CC

The helpfulness of dividing the universe of subjects, in the first instance, into a few chunks called Main Subjects, is indicated. The need for a further division of some of the Main Subjects, is also mentioned. The principles used by Colon Classification in. arranging the Main Subjects in a helpful sequence, are referred to. The concept of Fused Main Subject and its formation are discussed with illustrative examples. Guiding principles for deeming a new Fused Main Subject as an adjunct of one or the other of the fusing Main Subjects are formulated. The use of Canon of Systematic Mnemonics for arranging two or more fused Main Subjects forming adjunct Main Subjects is illustrated. The application of these principles for determining the position of new Fused Main Subjects is illustrated. A census of some of the fused Main Subjects together with their class number in CC ed 7, UDC, and DC ed 18 is given. The resolution of a homonym by the concept of Fused Main Subject, with respect to CC numbers, is pointed out. The need for guiding principles for the arrangement of adjunct Main Subjects to a particular Main Subjects in helpful sequence is indicated.- Research, Innovation, and Diffusion of Technology

Technological change is a key-factor affecting the economic growth, of a country. Technological change is stimulated by the knowledge generated, by research and developmental activity. There is an appreciable time-lag between the generation of an idea by research and its incorporation into the mainstream of production of commodities and services. Based on published reports, the various factors affecting the diffusion of technology from one country to another, from one enterprise to another enterprise, and within a firm, are mentioned. Information dissemination systems at the national, regional, and institutional levels should be so designed as to facilitate the acceleration of the process of diffusion of technology between countries, between enterprises, and within an enterprise.- Systems Approach in the Study of the Attrifcutes of the Universe of Subjects

Study of the structure, modes of formation, and patterns of development of the universe of subjects and its components, and the establishment of methodologies for such a study, are pre-requisites for the formulation of guidelines for the design and development of document finding systems. In studying the attributes of the universe of subjects and of its components it is helpful to consider a subject as a system. The general systems approach can be helpfully applied to the study of the attributes of the universe of subjects. These points are discussed with illustrative examples.- Specification of Subject of Reader's Query : Reader-computer Dialogue. (Non-conventional Methods in Document Retrieval. 20)

Reader's query statement may not specify coextensively the subject of his interest at the moment. He may approach the document finding system by the name in the natural language of any one of the component ideas of the subject he may be interested in at the moment. The document finding system should have the built-in facility to enable the reader enter the system via the name of the component idea he brings up; help him recall other component ideas he may be interested in; help him to formulate the subject coextensively given only some of its fragments; help him structure and express the subject of his interest at the moment in the same manner as the subjects of documents have been structured and expressed; and present to him in a small range of scanning ail the entries for the documents on the subject of his interest at the moment. The features of S R Ranganathan's document finding system model, which provides these facilities, are briefly described. The need for a dialogue between reader, documentalist, and document finding system in specifying the subect of reader's query is Indicated. Two methods of conducting this dialogue between the reader and the computer in a computer-based document finding system are described. The method developed earlier displays to the reader parts of the schedules and the alphaoeticai index to it in the scheme for classification used ana the dialogue is based on this. In the second method, appropriate parts of the alphabetical index to the subjects of the documents in the main part of the catalogue-on-tape is used. The alphabetical index is derived by the POPSI method Postulate-based Permuted Subject Indexing System. The relative advantages of the latter method and ita likely impact on the design of document finding systems are indicated.- Social Change, Communication of Ideas, and Library Service with Special Reference to Developing Societies

Attributes of a developing society undergoing socio-economic change, and the characteristics which enable it to generate change and to adapt itself to continuously changing economic, social, and political demands, perpetuation, are briefly discussed, Concepts such as modernisation, development, dynamism, democracy, science-based social development, and sovereignty are explained. The socio-economic disparity among nations, and the stresses and strains of modernisation in a developing society are highlighted. The transfer of culture through communication is shown to be a basic behavioural characteristic of human beings and that it has survival value for the species. The need to view communication of ideas and innovation among people in the perspective of the social system in which it takes place is emphasised. The variety of attributes of the communicator and of the communicatee, of the medium and mode of communication, and of the environment as a whole are enumerated and their effects on the communication of ideas are mentioned. The barriers to communication, particularly the culture, are highlighted. The role of library service in keeping democracy safe, in promoting universal education, in supporting higher education and research, int adult literacy and social education programmes, in preserving amity among nations, and in industrial development and technology transfer, is discussed. The future of information service is outlined quoting from a Delphi study.- Information Needs of New Product Planning and Development

Usually a new know how or an innovation gets assimilated into a production stream only after a long incubation period. Several factors, such as those relating to the attributes of new product, of the firm and of the environment has to be considered with respect to the new product line before the know-how is accepted. Industrial production requires information about industrial feasibility, market potential for goods and services, model schemes, pre-investment studies, organisational and financial matters, permits and licences, plant location and layout, manufacturing management, common service facility, distribution channels, and research and development facility. Some of the major types of institutional sources of information are enumerated. Stages of product development and sources of information are also indicated.- Basic Subject

Two approaches to semi-mechanical method of generating a thesaurus based on a scheme for classification and faceted subject structuring respectively, are mentioned. The problems in identifying non-hierarchical associative relationships (NHR) among ideas are indicated. About thirty types of NHR, taken from different sources are enumerated. The representation of NHRs between component ideas of subjects as facet relation (FR), spectator relation (SpR), Coordinate relation (CR) and Phase relation (PR) according to S R Ranganathan's model for structuring of subject is illustrated with examples. The use of the subject structures as data base for computer-generation of thesaurus and guidelines for direct representation of the NHR—identified as FR, SpR, CR and PR—as RT links in the thesaurus are briefly discussed. COBOL programs for generating a thesaurus from subject headings of a bibliographical record are discussed.- Information Technology: Applications in Development-Catalysing Activities in India

In subjects Facet Relation and Phase Relation are two principal types of relations recognized by Ranganthan's Colon Classification (CC ) in the Idea Place (lP) and implemented in the Notational Plane (NP). CC also recognizes two main types of Phase Relation-Inter-Subject Phase Relation (that is, Phase Relation between subjects going with different Basic Subjects) and Intra-Subject Phase Relation (that is, Phase Relation within subjects going with a Basic Subject). In the latter case it may be a Phase Relation between two facets of a subject (that is, Intra-Facet Phase Relation), or it may be a Phase Relation between two isolates in the same array in a facet of a subject (that is, Intra-Array Phase Relation).- Interdisciplinary Research and Classification Problems:A Case Study

Interdisciplinary associations lead to the emergence of hybrid disciplines. Interdisciplinary association may be of two types - multi-disciplinary association and interdisciplinary borrowing. Multi-disciplinary association may be juxtaposition studies or convergence of view points. Interdisciplinary borrowing involves borrowing of techniques and tools, or borrowing of data, or use of principles and theories. The emergence of hybrid discipline pose problems in classification. Some of these problems are highlighted by taking the newly emerging discipline of cycle research as a case study. Cycle research is a general theoretical study of cycle phenomenon. It can be deemed to be formed by either of the two modes of formation namely distillation and clustering. In Colon Classification, ed 7, Cycle Research may be accommodated in the schedule of Personality Isolates in the Basic Subject BTM Time Series Analysis.References

A depth classification version of Colon Classification (= CC) for subjects going with the Host Subject Transport Economics is given. The methodology for the design of freely-faceted scheme for classification and the current version of the notational system of CC have been used. In designing the schedule of speciators for the different kinds of vehicles, advantage has been taken of the available depth classification versions of CC for Motor Vehicle Production Engineering, Locomotive Production Engineering, and Air-Vehicle Wing Production Engineering. It has been found convenient to deem an isolate idea denoting a "Method" as a manifestation of the fundamental category matter that is, to consider it as Matter (Method). A differentiated schedule of such Method Isolates, associated with each of the Energy Isolates, is given. A problem in this connection is also mentioned. In Industrial Economics, the (IN) for the Industry Isolate in the Personality facet is at present constructed using the Subject Device. This adds two to three digits to the (IN). The method of constructing the Industry Isolate number suggested in this paper using the Subject Device only partially is more economical. The use of devices-such as, Alphabetical Device, Numerical Device, Environment Device, Subject Device, and "Divide like" Device-has helped in achieving economy in schedule building as well as in conforming to the Canons of Helpful Sequence, Consistent sequence, and Scheduled Mnemonics. An Alphabetical Index to the schedules and a list of thirty-seven examples classified according to the scheme for classification are given.- Seminal Mnemonics as a Pattern for System Analysis

The use of Seminal Mnemonics consists in having the same digit or digit group to denote seminally equivalent ideas in whatever subject they may occur even though different terms may be used to denote the ideas in different contexts. S R Ranganathan's General Theory of Library Classification recommends the use of this device in the design and development of schemes for classification. It has also been found helpful in the actual practice of designing schemes for classification. The denotation of certain groups of ideas by certain numerals is said to have been practised in some ancient traditions, such as that of India and Chaldea. However, the idea of Seminal Mnemonics is often considered something abstract and even beyond the grasp of the average intellect. This has made communicating and teaching about Seminal Mnemonics difficult. As a result, the device is not finding the wide use that it merits. While teaching classification, the two recurring questions about Seminal Mnemonics relate to: (1) The helpfulness of the association of a particular group of ideas with a particular numeral; and (2) The helpfulness of the sequence of ideas derived by this association of a numeral, with an idea. In a class discussion it was found helpful and practicable to consider that (1) The ancient tradition of associating or denoting particular groups of ideas by particular numerals as a means of securing a helpful sequence among these ideas; and (2) The sequence of the ideas thus obtained as representing the sequence of steps generally occurring in planning and designing a system, in systematic thinking, in scientific method, and in problem solving. These points are examined in some detail with illustrative examples from the field of Management of a Quality Control Programme, Postulate-based Method of Classifying, and generalised version of the procedure for problem solving.- Preparation of Sehedule-on-Tape for Synthesis of Class Number by Computer

Mentions the need for the analysis of the subjects of questions put by the specialist readers to document finding systems. Gives data on the facet structures of the subjects of 323 questions in the fields of High-Speed Aerodynamics and Aeronautical Engineering. On the whole, such questions appear to be fairly well confined to the core subjects. The subjects could be patterned into 34 facet structures. About 73 per cent of the subjects were based on three similar facet structures with 3, 4, and 5 facets respectively. The maximum number of Levels of [P] in anyone facet structure was 3; while that of the Levels of [IMP] in anyone facet structure was 5. The maximum number of facets in anyone subject was 12 and the minimum 2, with an average of 5·4. The maximum number of kernel ideas in anyone subject was IS and the minimum 3, with an average of S. This appears to conform to the findings of psychology of the Span of Immediate Memory and the Span of Absolute Judgment. The average frequency of incidence of (P), (M), and (E) isolates was in the ratio of 4·2: 5·6: 1. The frequency of incidence of isolates from the second and later Rounds of [P] and [M] was quite small. The number of different (lPl) isolates incident in the subjects of the questions was 48; 20 such isolates accounted for a 90-per cent incidence of (1P1) isolates. The number of different (1MP) isolates incident in the subjects was 152. 20 such isolates accounted for a 62-per cent and 50 isolates for an 80-per cent incidence of (1MP) isolates. The number of different (IE) isolates incident in the subjects was 24. They were all common isolates. A principle is mentioned as an aid in differentiating whether an idea is to be deemed a manifestation of Matter (Property) or of Energy, when the idea is associa!ed with an "action". A total of 178 qualifiers occuring 266 times qualified 80 ideas in [1P1].A total of 274 qualifers occurring 577 times qualified 98 ideas in [1MP]. 22·5 per cent of the isolates in [1P1] and 88 per cent of the isolates in [1MP] did not have qualifiers. There were 76 Complex Subjects in the subjects of the questions. The influence Phase Relation had the highest incidence (68 %) among the Complex Subjects. Concludes mentioning a few subjects for further investigation.

The linear relation between the number of discoveries and the number of re-discoveries in the field of antibiotics conforms to the Square-Cube Law as applied to growing organisms. The Square-Cube Law relation gives a rriore precise prediction of the number of rediscoveries of antibiotics given the number of reports of discoveries of antibiotics, than with the least square technique, reported earlier. There is isometry between the relative rate of growth of the cumulative total number of discoveries and the cumulative total of the number of re-discoveries.- Motor Vehicle Production:Depth ClassifiCation:A Demonstration

Based on the incidence of (QJ) in the subjects going with the (BC) Production Engineering of Internal Combustion Engine, confirms the remarkable usefulness of the Wall-Picture Principle in deriving a helpful sequence among. the (QI). Explains where and how the Group Strategy can be adopted in the application of the same Principle. Points out the conditions and restrictions laid down in the idea plane and in the notational plane which call for a careful allocation of the sectors to the (QI). Study of the incidence of the combination of (QI) in 507 (eN) shows that the superimposition of too many (QI) is comparatively rare, that the mode of the curve for the incidence of the combination of (QI) lies between combination of 2 (QI) and that of 3 (QI), and that there are no combinations of more than 11 (QI). After classifying over 600 micro documents in the subject with the provisional schedule, works out a revised allocation of sectors such that over 1,100 digits are saved in the (CN) for 507 documents.- Single-Volumed Simple Book:Standards for Bibliographical Reference

The study of the structure and development of the universe of subjects by the librarian is shown to be a necessary implication of the Five Laws of Library Science. The particular implications of each of the Laws are dealt with. Among the attributes of the universe of subjects to be studied are: Its tendency to become infinite and a continuum; its multidimensional and turbulently dynamic qualities; the emergence and modes of formation of subjects; the frequency and trend of incidence of each of the different modes; the strength of bond among the constituents of a subject; the frequency anll pattern of incidence of different kinds of facets; the impact of different kinds of ideas-intuition-based seminal and intellect-based near seminal ones; the use of subjects for different purposes and the rate of such utilisation, at differest periods over the last two hundred years; and the effect of the faults of the verbal plane on the idea plane. Other subjects in which the universe of subjects as a whole may be the subject of study from different angles, a syllabus for the subject, and some problems for pursuit, are mentioned.- Research in Library Classification

An essential basis for research in library classification is the study of the structure and developmerit of the universe of subjects. A Classification based on a resilient design methodology, and a holistic approach would ensurea good foundation for the document retrieval system. The Indian System of Thought in Classification has taken the five Laws of Library Science as the basic guiding principles, deduced canons and principles for classification, enunciated helpful postulates, and demonstrated classification work as belonging to three planes. It has attempted to grasp the essence of the relation among the constituents of the universe of subjects at the near-seminal level, progressively applied objective scientific method to classification, and developed a precise terminology for the subject. The advantages of the above lines of approach are illustrated and the kind of research involved in the different developments are mentioned. A set of problems for pursuit is given.- Books and Articles:Guiding Principles for Presentation of Text

Indicates the parallel between the classification of subjects by the librarian and the analysis and synthesis of subjects by an author. Enumerates with examples, some guiding principles helpful for the arrangement of ideas, and for the verbal plane, to avoid homonyms, synonyms and to ensure clarity and transparency of expression. A helpful method of structuring the text and marking off the structural elements is given.- Interpolation in the Notational Plane: A Case Study

Research is a means of continuously developing a discipline. It endows a discipline with the ability to utilise the knowledge generated in other disciplines, it makes use of Scientific Method, its method admits of being learnt, and it admits of being organised. Research in Library Science does not differ in the essentials of its objectives, methodology, and organisation from research in any other discipline. Efficiency in library service is dependent on discovering the changes in the value of each of the two parameters User and Subjects embodied in documents. Research helps to recognise and act on the changes in the value. Considers the role of the teacher and the steps that he may take in helping a student take the first steps in research. Research by the teacher and the provision of opportunity for intensive apprenticeship by an aspirant to research work are emphasised. The factors to be taken into consideration in the organisation of and in assigning priority to different kinds of research in library science in India, are briefly outlined.- Part of Single-Volumed Simple Book: Standards for Bibliographical Reference
