In addition to 145 new terms, many scope notes have been added and many semantic relationships added or modified. Some existing terms have undergone corrections of various kinds. New terms have been derived partly from an extraction of terms from several sources that identify high-level business lines of thirteen major departments. Others have been requested or suggested by indexers responsible for metadata application to their organizational web sites. A list of new terms has been provided in English and French.

A few terms that were “preferred terms” (terms to be used for indexing), have been demoted to lead-in or “non-preferred” terms. The following English terms have been modified:

• “Aids [Disease]” has been changed to “AIDS (Disease)”
• “Human safety” has been changed from a Preferred Term to a Non-Preferred Term in favour of “Human security”
• “Informatics security” has been changed from a Preferred Term to a Non-Preferred Term in favour of “Computer security”
• “Testimonies” has been changed to “Testimony”; “Evidence” has been added as a Broader Term.

In the previous edition, some terms had qualifying phrases added in square brackets [ ]. All square brackets have been changed to parentheses ( ) in order to conform to the relevant ISO standards.
