<h1><em>NLM<span class="registered">&#174;</span> Classification</em> 2010 Edition</h1>
<p class="editorsnote"><a name="note"></a><em>[Editor's note: The newly revised edition of the NLM Classification is available online as of April 29, 2010.]</em></p>
<p>The <em>NLM Classification</em> will be available soon online at <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/class/">//www.nlm.nih.gov/class/</a>. It will incorporate all additions and changes to the schedules and index from April 2009 through March 2010. The <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/class/terms_cond.html">PDF version</a> will be updated with 2010 classification data by May 11, 2010.
</p>
<p>The WX (Hospitals and Other Health Facilities) and WY (Nursing) were the major areas of focus for the 2010 edition.
</p>
<p>
Some WX and WY class number captions and notes were revised to better reflect the scope of the number. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>At WX 11, the caption <em>General history of hospitals and the hospital movement</em> was changed to <em>History</em>.</li>
<li>At WY 150, the caption <em>General works</em> was augmented with <em>Medical-surgical nursing</em>.</li>
<li>At WY 156, the following note was added: <em>Classify here all oncologic nursing regardless of emphasis</em>.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<p>
Table G (geographic breakdown) is newly permitted with some additional WX and WY class numbers.
</p>
<h2>Class Numbers Added and Canceled</h2>
<br />
<p>
Twenty-two new class numbers were added and two class numbers were canceled.

<h2>Table G (Geographic Notations)</h2>
<br />
<p>
Two geographic cutters were added to the <a href="/class/TableGOutline.html#Historic">Historical Geographic Locations</a> section of Table G (Geographic Notations)
</p>
<ul>
<li>GA85&#151;Austria-Hungary</li>
<li>JO8&#151;Ottoman Empire</li>
</ul>
<br />
<p>
Two cross references were added to the <a href="/class/TableGOutline.html">main section</a>:
</p>
<ul>
<li>North Korea see Korea </li>
<li>South Korea see Korea</li>
</ul>
<h2>Other Changes to the Schedule</h2>
<br />
<p>Class number captions were also revised in other schedules. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The header for QU was changed from <em>Biochemistry</em> to <em>Biochemistry. Cell Biology and Genetics</em> to better reflect the content of the schedule.</li>
<li>At W 62, WM 62, WO 62, WS 105.5.I5, and WU 61, <em>social relations</em> was replaced with <em>interpersonal relations</em> in the caption.</li>
<li>At QW 551, the caption was changed from <em>Acquired immunity. Artificial immunity </em>to <em>Adaptive immunity</em> to reflect more current usage.</li>
<li>At QX 50, the caption was changed from <em>Protozoa</em> to <em>Unicellular eukaryota (General or not elsewhere classified)</em> to reflect the reclassification of organisms by MeSH<span class="registered">&#174;</span>.</li>
<li>Instructional notes were added or modified to clarify classification practices as needed, e.g., a note was added to WG 141.5.E2: <em>Classify works on fetal echocardiography in WQ 209. </em></li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes to the Index</h2>
<br />
<p>Eighty new index entries were created of which thirty-four are from the 2010 MeSH; the remainder are MeSH terms from previous years. All main index headings are linked to the 2010 vocabulary in the <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html">MeSH Browser</a>.
</p>
<p>
Numerous main index entries and cross references were modified to reflect changes in the MeSH vocabulary. In particular, some major categories of index terms affected by MeSH changes were:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Category B organisms, e.g., <em>Sarcodina</em> was deleted from the index.</li>
<li>Category E terms, e.g., <em>Genetic Screening</em> changed to <em>Genetic Testing</em>.</li>
<li>Specialty terms, e.g., the specialty <em>Chemistry, Analytic</em> was added and the technique term was changed from <em>Chemistry, Analytical</em> to <em>Chemistry Techniques, Analytical</em>. Where possible, a distinction is made between the classification of a specialty term versus a technique, phenomenon, or process term. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<p>All index entries pertaining to the aforementioned schedule additions and changes were modified.</p>
<p>Index entries with Library of Congress T schedule numbers were reviewed for accuracy.</p>
