Sažetak
The paper discusses several groups of problems identified in classification of art history according to Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). As the first group of issues the author mentions the existence of more than one UDC number for the same concept, and finds that, sometimes, the distinction made in UDC between different aspects of the same concepts is not necessary. In the second group of issues the author lists some deficiences of the UDC scheme as present in the Croatian edition from 2005 (based on the UDC MRF from 1998) and points out the problems of the out-of-date classification of periods of mediaeval art in this edition and confusing terminology and hierarchy of modern and contemporary art. The author describes how the above listed problems are solved in the classification practice of the National and University Library in Zagreb (Croatia). The author clarifies which of the above mentioned issues can be managed through the library’s classification guidelines and which can only be alleviated using a revised UDC schedule.
