Abstract
An unique method of assessing the complexity of the notational systems of UDC and CC is discussed. The complexity is quantified by defining an Unit of Complexity as a function of mixed Base of the notational system. The correlation of length and complexity of a sample of class numbers with increasing co-extensiveness are examined. The co-efficient of correlation at micro-document and macro-document levels are evaluated for UDC and CC and are compared. The data is fitted for a linear regression line by least-square method, which gives a prediction of the complexity with the length of the class number.
