Sažetak

Indexing (and retrieval) systems include classification systems, subject headings systems and thesauri. All of them are prone to constant changes, revisions and updates due to various changes caused by users’ demands, changes in society, science, publishing, different definitions of social phenomena, etc. Notwithstanding the reasons and nature of these changes they ought to be carried out consistently, in the whole system, and it should be possible to track the changes afterwards. Indexing systems such as thesauri have a proscribed methodology for making changes, defined by the standards for maintaining thesauri. Subject headings systems and classification schemes also have sets of rules which need to be implemented during maintenance of these systems, in order to keep consistency in the systems. The paper presents the changes which have been made in the Universal Decimal Classification (in further text UDC), particularly in the UDC main class 2 Religion. Theology, and also possible ways of tracking these changes.
