Keywords Click a term to view the records with the same keyword

This object has the following keywords:

animals*, elements*, series (groups)*

animals - This section can use more hierarchical (quasi-Linnaean) refinement in future; extant terms were assembled into a fairly flat and slightly redundant structure to expedite conversion.
elements - Simple chemical substances composed of only one type of atom and not able to be broken down, changed, or decomposed by ordinary physical or chemical means. They are the basic chemical constituents of compounds and ultimately of all tangible matt
series (groups) - Use for related publications issued successively, especially those bearing a collective as well as an individual title; and, in the visual arts, for groups of works by a single artist having a specific and purposeful relation among the works. [March 1993 descriptor changed, was 'series'; alternate term added; descriptor moved. January 1991 scope note added.]
