The Universal Category System (UCS) is a public domain initiative by Tim Nielsen, Justin Drury, Kai Paquin, among others, and supported by sound librarians, vendors, and users from around the globe.
Their aim is to provide and encourage the use of a set category list for the classification of sound effects. They hope that in doing so, they can offer a framework for consistent categorization of sound effects, offer uniformity in a filename structure, and ease the pain of maintaining a sound effects library.
I have updated my Data Hammer sample pack accordingly, and will continue to use this categorization system in my future sample packs.
Thanks so much!
