Multi-concept headings

Exercise 19

Check to see if the following headings exist or can be devised.

a. Japan - History - 1868-1912, Meiji period: This exists as an allowed heading.

b. Geology - Maps - Standards: This is an allowed heading, because Geology - Maps exists in SCICSHL, and standards is a standard subdivision (see p. 19 of SCISSHL Guidelines)

c. Military science - Terminology – Dictionaries: This is an allowed heading, as both terminology and dictionaries are standard subdivisions (I'm feeling a niggle about this one, that somehow it is not okay, but I am not sure why so it is time to check the answers... Ah-ha! you cannot add a standard subdivision to a standard subdivision... A standard subdivision must be used only after the first dash? That does not seem right either... but I think it might just be because I am bizarrely tired; time for bed. This heading would have to be broken into two: Military science - Terminology, and Military science - Dictionaries.)
