Summary/Abstract: In the context of the multidisciplinary approach to information indexing, the study analyzes the compositional structures of the Dewey system compared to UDC regarding the codification of the auxiliary determinations of subjects. The study, by systematic, typological and methodological analysis of the subdivisions for arts, individual literatures and specific literary forms and of the analytical or special auxiliary indices, accompanied by the argumentation of their value and importance in the information management, reflects the findings of a correlational research of the auxiliary structures of the most important indexing languages with hierarchical structure and from the perspective of the information offer, it maintains the fundamentally interdisciplinary nature of the Dewey system and UDC.
