W. Created Works
Terms in the Created Works facet designate the products of human creative and intellec-
tual endeavor – graphic novels, bookplates, shopping bags, and so on.
Listings
The TGDT per se consists of two listings:
¶ A systematic listing in outline form of the terms in each of the nine facets, showing
the hierarchical relations among terms.
¶ An alphabetic listing of preferred and lead-in terms containing detailed information
on the scope of terms and their relations – both hierarchical and non-hierarchical – to
other terms.
Systematic listing
Each entry (or ‘node’) in the systematic listing is either a preferred or guide term, pre
ceded by its classification number.
Although the database from which these listings are compiled contains alternate
forms of preferred terms (for example, the term labor relations has the alternative form
‘labour relations’), these are not included in this first edition of the TGDT.
Figure 1 shows an excerpt from the systematic listing of the Places Facet. The clas-
sification notation for each term is arranged along the left side of the page; dotted indents
are used before each term to indicate its position within the hierarchy. Preferred terms are
shown in boldface and guide terms in italics within angled brackets.

Alphabetic listing
A more complete record of terms is given in the alphabetic listing, in which each term is
listed with its classification notation, scope notes (if any), and any related terms. This
listing includes both preferred and non-preferred (lead-in) terms; the former appear in
boldface. The following abbreviations are used:
