Thema version 1.4
Thema version 1.4 was released at the beginning of April 2020. This version contains 143 new core subject categories and 549 new qualifiers (including new national extensions), plus numerous improvements to the wording of headings and notes, but it retains full backward compatibility with version 1.3 (no existing data needs to be modified or updated). See Thema v1.4 other resources and information below for list of all new codes.
Version 1.4.2 was released in October 2020 with 40 new national qualifiers added. This remains fully backward compatable and all the new national qualifers can be taken back to their root codes for those implementors who do not need to use the national qualifiers. See Thema v1.4 other resources and information below for list of all new codes.
