he <em>NLM Classification</em>, available online at <a href="//wwwcf.nlm.nih.gov/class/">//wwwcf.nlm.nih.gov/class/</a>, incorporates all additions and changes to the schedules and index from April 2007 through March 2008. The <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/class/terms_cond.html">PDF version</a> will be updated with 2008 classification data by April 30, 2008.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The WA (Public Health) and WB (Practice of Medicine) schedules were the major areas of focus for the 2008 edition, along with Table G.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Some WA and WB class numbers were revised to better reflect the scope of the number. For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>At WA 275, the caption Traffic accidents. Public health aspects of automobile driving was changed to Traffic accidents. Public health aspects of driving.</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
At WA 105, the following note was added: Classify works on the specialty and on the specialty methods here. Classify works on epidemiologic methods alone in WA 950.</li>
|
||
<li>Table G additions are now permitted with more WA classification numbers.</li>
|
||
</ul>

<h2>
|
||
Other Changes to the Schedule</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Class number captions were also revised in other schedules. For example: </p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>At QV 748, ‘Dosage calculations’ was added to the caption. </li>
|
||
<li>At WO 511, ‘Laser surgery’ was changed to ‘Laser therapy’. </li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Instructional notes were added or modified to clarify classification practices as needed, e.g., a note was modified at WZ 290 to clarify the types of works to be classified there.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Changes to the Index</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Seventy-one new index entries were created of which forty-one are from the 2008 MeSH; the remainder are MeSH terms from previous years. 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>
|
||
|
||
<p>Publication types, e.g., </p>
|
||
<p> <em>Biography [Publication Type]</em> to <em>Biography</em></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Topical terms that duplicate publication types, e.g., </p>
|
||
<p> <em>Biography</em> changed to <em>Biography as Topic</em></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>All index entries pertaining to the aforementioned schedule additions and changes were modified.</p>
