    Eduncle Best Answer

    S.R. Ranganathan's faceted Colon Classification (CC) is extremely detailed, precise, and informative, as is the book number system he made to go with it. In his Colon Classification (6th ed.) (Ranganathan 1964) he defined these terms:
    [L][F][Y][A].[V]-[S];[C]:Cr[Cr#]
    [L] = language number (can be left out)
    [F] = form number (can be left out)
    [Y] = year (the most important; comes from a table: e.g. N = 1900-1999,
    P = 2000-2099)
    [A] = accession part of year number (if more than one book from the same year)
    [V] = volume number
    [S] = supplement number
    [C] = copy number
    Cr = g indicates a volume of criticism
    [Cr #] = accession part of criticism indicator
