Groups worldwide are collecting and indexing tobacco industry documents for purposes ranging from health policy development, litigation, development of tobacco control policy, and analysis of scientific work. Since the needs and methods of these groups are as diverse as the topics themselves, a set of commonly used standards must be employed to ensure consistency of document description that will enhance the accessibility of these documents well into the future. These standards encompass both intellectual and technical components.

Developed jointly by staff at the TCA and Tobacco Documents Online. These definitions are based on the Dublin Core metadata elements for description to promote access by Internet resource discovery tools. We recommend using the TCFD to support a common record structure for describing tobacco documents released on the Internet by disparate individuals and organizations. Use of this structure in conjunction with the Tobacco Documents Thesaurus will support searching and retrieval of these significant documents worldwide. Note: As of summer 2001, these field definitions are undergoing evaluation and revision.

Developed by the Americans for Nonsmokers Rights Foundation and used by the UCSF TCA in the indexing of the Joe Camel Campaign: Mangini vs. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Collection and the British-American Tobacco Collection. Other institutions have also adopted the thesaurus for their collection. UCSF licensed the thesaurus from ANRF in 2000. With support from a grant from the California Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program, the thesaurus was evaluated, revised, and expanded in 2003.
