Abstract
The notion of a uniform base, which was introduced by P. S. Alexandroff in 1960, turned out to be deeply connected with various properties of topological spaces. Modifications of this notion have led to new metrizability criteria and new directions in classification of topological spaces. A survey of the related results is given.
