| (1/9) | Table 1e – Common auxiliaries of place Scope Note: The place auxiliaries indicate the geographical range, locality or other spatial aspect of a subject denoted by a main UDC number. Most importantly, place auxiliaries are the primary facet in the subdivision of 913 Regional geography and 94 History Application Note: The place auxiliaries are applicable throughout the main tables when the place aspect is secondary to the subject. In a compound number place auxiliaries are normally cited after the main number. However, to achieve a desired sequence, place auxiliaries can also be cited first e.g. (73)339.5 USA – Foreign trade or even intercalated in a UDC number, e.g. 354(44).51 French ministry of justice. In addition, a place auxiliary can be used on its own when the place is the only aspect that is required for document organization (e.g. maps). The political section of table (4/9) Countries and places of the modern world, is subdivided as far as counties, departments or equivalent administrative units. Smaller units may be denoted by using special auxiliaries (1-2/-4) and/or alphabetical extension (Table 1h) ◇ (44-2) Communes of France ◇ (441.1BRE) Brest, town in Finistère ◇ (441.1-2) Communes of Finistère (department) ◇ 331.2(44) Wages in France ◇ 913(4) Geography of Europe ◇ 94(4) History of Europe ⇨ (=1/=9) Linguistic-cultural groups, ethnic groups, peoples ⇨ 913 Regional geography ⇨ 94 General history |
