# Universal Category System - Community Resources
|
|
|
|
## What is this?
|
|
|
|
This repository contains documentation and some developer resources for the
|
|
[Universal Category System][ucs], a library classification system and file
|
|
naming convention for sound effects recordings used widely in the motion
|
|
picture, television and videogame/interactive industries.
|
|
|
|
[ucs]: https://universalcategorysystem.com
|
|
|
|
## What's here?
|
|
|
|
Some items of interest are:
|
|
|
|
- [JSON-formatted UCS Schedules](json/) of version **8.2.1** of the UCS in
|
|
all available languages.
|
|
- The schedules have been normalized so all synonyms are contained in a
|
|
list (no longer delimited by word separators) and lower-cased.
|
|
- The [tool](tools/ucsxls2json.py) used to make these JSON files from the
|
|
original XLS file.
|
|
- Transcriptions of core UCS documentation into ReStructuredText:
|
|
- Tim Nielsen's original [*UCS File Naming Convention*][ucs_fns] document.
|
|
- An unofficial [list of released UCS versions](docs/versions.rst).
|
|
- A [link tree](docs/links.rst) to UCS resources.
|
|
- Zipped [UCS Category-SubCategory directory trees](dirs) in all of the
|
|
available languages.
|
|
- The [directory-creation tool](tools/ucsdirs.py) that was used to create
|
|
these trees from the JSON UCS schedules.
