Problem of Indexing Consistency About Information and Media Literacy: Example Universal Decimal Classification

Abstract

Growing of interest for information and media literacy since last two decades connected with new technological changes in the sphere of media and information and it has been included more literature in this sphere. Despite of obviously literary guarantee in the sphere of educational literature and educational policy, terms as there are information and media literacy are not noted in standard systems for knowledge organisation as there are classifications. The consequence of missing clear terminological definitions in index languages of content processing, resulted ambiguous and unevenly classification of media and information literacy. In this paper, we'll explain a kind of this problem with the example of Universal decimal classification (UDC). UDC is synthetic classification which allows making of compound index terminology to express new terms. When assigned indexing and non coordinated used terms, this way of indexing resulted obviously not only proliferation of combinations which express certain term, but wrong interpretation of aboutness. Author suggests more specific and precise classification code for noted terms in UDC.
