<strong>ew Publication Pattern and Format </strong><br />
Beginning with the 2002 edition, the <em>NLM Classification</em> is published in
electronic form and updated annually. The online environment offers many advantages to users
including hyperlinks between class numbers in the index and the schedules, between terms within the index,
and links from "MeSH Tree icons" in the Index to the term in the Medical Subject
Headings (MeSH<sup><font size="-2">&#174;</font></sup>) Browser.
</p>
<p>
The development of the online data creation and maintenance system used to produce this
edition of the <em>Classification</em> gives NLM the ability to update it annually in tandem with MeSH.
</p>
<p>
The <em>NLM Classification</em> is available for downloading in HTML at <a href="/class">http://www.nlm.nih.gov/class</a>.
Publication of printed editions ceased with the 5th revised edition, 1999.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Scope of Revision</strong><br />
The 2002 edition incorporates all additions and changes to the schedules since 1999. New class
numbers were added as needed to reflect changes in MeSH and the biomedical and related sciences literature cataloged.
Class numbers added and deleted are given below. The Index was updated with appropriate MeSH concepts through 2002.
</p>
<p>
The outlines of all schedules were systematically reviewed and revised, and new ones were developed
for schedules where none existed. These outlines provide the user with a quick overview of a schedule's
content and assist in maneuvering through one.
</p>
Class number names were revised to reflect changes in MeSH application and practices as well
as changes in MeSH itself. For example:
<ol>
<li>The class name "Hemodialysis" was replaced with the MeSH concept "Renal Dialysis"</li>
<li>The term "Nomenclature" was deleted from all class names because it is now a see reference to "Terminology" in MeSH</li>
<li>Prepositional phrases used as class names were simplified, e.g., "Nursing of diseases of the respiratory system"
became "Respiratory system nursing"</li>
</ol>
<p>
The following is a list of class numbers <strong>added</strong> to the 2002 edition of the <em>NLM Classification</em>.
