| caption | Verbal description of the class content | skos:prefLabel | — |
| including note | Extension of the caption containing verbal examples of the class content (usually a selection of important terms that do not appear in the subdivision) | skos:note | udc:includingNote |
| application note | Instructions for number building, further extension and specification of the class | skos:note | udc:applicationNote |
| scope note | Note explaining the extent and the meaning of a UDC class. Used to resolve disambiguation or to distinguish this class from other similar classes | skos:scopeNote | — |
| examples | Examples of combination are used to illustrate UDC class building i.e. complex subject statements | skos:example | — |
