MeSH
Captions available
The idea
Medical Subject Headings — MeSH — is the controlled vocabulary the National Library of Medicine uses to describe the content of articles indexed in MEDLINE.
In practice
A keyword mapped to its MeSH heading before the search is run.
Where people slip
MeSH belongs to MEDLINE. Another database has its own headings, and its own name for them.
