Sažetak
The article examines to what degree the concepts of medical ethics, bioethics and medical deontology differ in Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), and to what extent the practice of classifying follows this differentiation, especially after the extensions and corrections have been made in the UDC class 60 Biotechnology. Furthermore, it considers how the scientific definitions of medical ethics, bioethics and medical deontology correspond to the position of these disciplines within the UDC, and to the position which they have been assigned by the Croatian National Council for Science in the Ordinance on Scientific and Artistic Areas, Fields and Branches (NN, No. 118/09). The comparative analysis of scientific definitions of the terms medical ethics, bioethics and medical deontology have shown that these terms and disciplines are not considered to be synonymous, and that these scientific fields are mutually inclusively referential. Finally, after the comparative analysis of the Ordinance on Scientific and Artistic Areas, Fields and Branches and the UDC classification scheme, we pointed out the most common problems encountered in practice.
