Subject classification in UN Digital Library

[Atanu Garai]

Hi All,

I am wondering if you would know or refer me to understand the classification schema being used in the UN Digital Library, for example, for the record below

Report of the Mekong River Commission : note / by the Secretariat

https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/576085?ln=en

List of subjects:

RIVER BASIN DEVELOPMENT
WATER MANAGEMENT
FLOOD CONTROL
FISHERY MANAGEMENT
NAVIGATION
MEKONG RIVER BASIN

The records are not browsable through those subjects, though it will allow a search. The user needs to know the list of the subjects to be able to search. I am curious to know if there is any use case where the readers know their subject and can retrieve relevant records based on those subjects.

Best regards,

Atanu
