Actually, you can specify, if you want, the relationship between any two subjects in UDC Subjects: 004 Computer science 37 Education Relationships -042.1 Bias phase -042.2 Comparison phase -042.3 Influence phase -042.4 Tool phase. Exposition phase 37:004 unspecified relationship between computer science and education 37-042.1:004 'computer science' applied or aimed to use in 'education' 37-042.2:004 comparison of 'computer science' and 'education' 37-042.3:004 influence of 'computer science' on 'education' 37-042.4:004 'computer science' demonstrated on the field of 'education' There are also the following useful relationships but it does not make make sense to show how they work on the same two subjects -042.52 Isolation -042.55 Separation -042.62 Association -042.65 Independence -042.72 Dependence -042.75 Interdependence. Mutual dependence. 'Symbiosis' -042.82 Complementarity Needles to say one can also combine any two or more subjects with any relationships and relate/subsume them to any two or more subjects in different relationships - but this serves to a very detailed and complex indexing Anyway I thought this may be a good example how coordination works in fully synthetic classifications Aida
