Abstract: We introduce the concept of a direct $C_{omega}^{ast}$-system and show that every non-separable unital $C^{ast}$-algebra is the limit of essentially unique direct $C_{omega}^{ast}$-system. This result is then applied to the problem of characterization of projective unital $C^{ast}$-algebras. It is shown that a non-separable unital $C^{ast}$-algebra $X$ of density $au$ is projective if and only if it is the limit of a well ordered direct system ${mathcalS}_X=X_{alpha},i_{alpha}^{alpha+1},alpha<au$ of length $au$, consisting of unital projective $C^{ast}$-subalgebras $X_{alpha}$ of $X$ and doubly projective homomorphisms (inclusions) $i_{alpha}^{alpha+1}colon{X}_{alpha}o{X}_{alpha+1}$, $alpha<au$, so that $X_0$ is separable and each $i_{alpha}^{alpha+1}$, $alpha<au$, has a separable type. In addition we show that a doubly projective homomorphism $fcolonXoY$ of unital projective $C^{ast}$-algebras has a separable type if and only if there exists a pushout diagram [ �egin{CD} X @>f>> Y @A{p}AA @AA{q}A X_{0} @>f_{0}>> Y_{0}, end{CD} ] oindent where $X_0$ and $Y_0$ are separable unital projective $C^{ast}$-algebras and the homomorphisms $i_{0}colon{X}_{0}o{Y}_0$, $pcolon{X}_{0}oX$ and $qcolon{Y}_{0}oY$ are doubly projective. These two results provide a complete characterization of non-separable projective unital $C^{ast}$-algebras in terms of separable ones.
