Contrastive Studies on the Category System of Traditional Chinese Medicine / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

This article makes a contrastive analysis on the first category and second category of traditional Chinese medicine among Chinese Traditional Medicine and Materia Mediea Subject Headings (third edition), the TCMLS Metathesaurus and Chinese Library Classification (fifth edition), and points out the features and defects in these classifications, hoping to give some useful proposals to the construction of traditional Chinese medicine vocabulary.
