Aida, that's impressive! (I'm sorry if I am seeing it only now.)

As for what I've understood, it is basically a scheme having
BC2 as its model (which means the most advanced general 
classification system today), but with an expressive notation 
suitable for searching in a digital environment, which BC2 lacks.
Anyway, no doubt I will examine the structure in more detail :-)

What is especially remarkable, at a first look, is that eventually 
we have a faceted scheme fully searchable and displayable on the 
Net, with an excellent interface. I hope this will also work as a way 
to show more concretely what a full-fledged faceted classification 
scheme can be.

Which are the coming steps planned for the system? 
(well, apart from your PhD: best whishes for it!)
