PSD policy specialist responsible for this weekly list: P. Weiss

Classification

Changes were made as indicated on the approved list.

Subject Headings

Ozrinić-Čevljan family

SHM H 1631, sec. 3.b. specifies that when families with
compound names are established, they should be linked as related terms
with the family headings for the individual parts of the name, if they
have been established. The existing UF, which was in conflict with this
rule, has therefore been deleted and the proposed UFs were not approved.

If headings for the Ozrinić and/or Čevljan families are needed, they
should be established as separate headings.

Pacific Coast (Or.); Pacific Coast (Wash.)

The proposed UFs were not approved. Since UFs of this
type could be made for any heading for a specific coast, a general
reference from the term Coastal [name of place] has been made instead.

Radon

The proposed BT Radioactivity does not fall within the
rules for making hierarchical references in SHM H 370, and was therefore
not approved.
