a list of terms which are specifically and significantly different each from the other, capable of describing the subject content of [resources], inclusive of all knowledge, infinitely hospitable, in an arrangement that is linear, unique, and meaningful, and which when applied to [resources], usually, though not necessarily, through the medium of a notation, results in their arrangement on the shelves according to the logical principles that inhere in the schematism.
