Actually, the UDC and the colon classification are two different things. The UDC was an extension of the Dewey Decimal System developed by Paul Otlet, it has been used mainly in Europe. The Colon Classification was the classification system developed by Ranganathan that popularized the use of facets.
 
There are several rarely used systems out there, it is easy to get them confused!

If I remember correctly colon classification is another
name for UDC.

Also I work for the BBC which uses UDC to catalogue TV and
radio prgrams. The systems are inhouse, but if you ever in
the UK I can set up a look-see.
