| HN | Introduced 1995. | |
| SN | Throughout this section, "document" is used broadly to include any kind of written or oral document or presentation. These descriptors are used for documents that belong to a given document type and
for documents that discuss a given document type. For example, the descriptor *NM8 policy statement* qh ah
would be used to index a policy statement as well as to index a guide on writing a policy statement.
These descriptors can be used in one of two ways: (1) to index documents that discuss a format, such as a document that discusses the creation and structure of a clinical guide; or (2) to index the format of a document, such as a document that is a clinical guide. Some systems use a separate data field for this. | |
