Subdivided headings

Exercise 13

Identify the number of subdivided headings for each of the following headings in SCISSHL.

a. Private schools: zero
b. Science: Six (plus 2 non-allowed)
c. Mongolia: zero, but it does say you can subdivide it the same as "Australia", and there are HEAPS of subdivisions for Australia!

Note that subdivisions are always preceded by a long dash. Some terms existing as subdivisions in SCISSHL are also there as headings in their own right. Examine, as an example, the heading ‘Diseases’. The note at this heading indicates that it can be used also as a subheading to create subdivided headings such as ‘Blood-Diseases’.

It is important to recognise that the only headings in SCISSHL which can be used as subdivisions are those where there is a note allowing this usage. For example, the subdivided heading ‘Earth-Atmosphere’ cannot be created as there is no note at ‘Atmosphere’ allowing it to be used as a subdivision.

Note also that some terms only exist as subdivisions, they cannot be used as headings. See, for example, the terms ‘Policy’, ‘Safety measures’ and ‘Rules’ in SCISSHL.
