<p>The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) FTP download site, <a href="ftp://nlmpubs.nlm.nih.gov/online/mesh/ ">ftp://nlmpubs.nlm.nih.gov/online/mesh/</a>, has been updated to include separate directories for each release year of MeSH (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>). <br /><br />
|
||
The FTP directories include:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>A single directory for earlier files from 1999-2010 (see A in <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).</li>
|
||
<li>The yearly release directories from 2011 to the latest full release which occurs in November of the preceding year (for example, 2016 MeSH was released in November of 2015) (see B in <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).</li>
|
||
<li>The directory "MESH_FILES" with the latest release files that are updated every morning Monday – Friday (see C in <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).</li>
|
||
<li>File names ending with .nt and .ttl extensions that are for the <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/nd15/brief/nd15_mesh_rdf_2016.html">MeSH RDF format</a> (see D in <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).</li>

<p>We hope that making these archive copies more readily available to the public will be useful for those of us who are interested in studying the history of MeSH terminology as it has progressed over the years. Distributed MeSH files are freely available to the public provided that you agree to our <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/termscon.html">Memorandum of Understanding</a>.<br /><br />
|
||
|

Your questions and comments about MeSH are welcome. Please send them to <a href="//support.nlm.nih.gov/?style=classic&deptID=28054&from=ttps://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshsugg.html">NLM Customer Service</a>. </p>
