Description

edition52Edition of the classification schedule

main-classification

The format for all US classes is zero-filled to a 3-character class and 3-character subclass. Characters following those 6 numbers are not zero-filled, and non-significant trailing zeros are removed. There is no punctuation present. Slashes and decimal points can be easily inferred for display purposes. 
For JP classes, the format is the original delivered from JAPIO.

further-classification

Further/secondary classification. Same format as main-classification.

unlinked-indexing-code52Unlinked indexing codes are similar to linked indexing codes, but are not linked to an associated classification symbol.
