# CABI Codes - CABI Subject Classification Codes

In addition to adding index terms to a record, broad concepts or subjects are also “indexed” with a classification system known as CABI Codes,  used to code for subjects that would be difficult to describe with keywords alone. CABI Codes divide the subject coverage of the database into 25 major sections or subjects. Each subject then includes a series of sub-codes that divide that subject further into more specific areas.

To search for content tagged with the relevant codes enter the five digit code into the CABI Code field in Advanced search.&#x20;

Alternatively search in the main search box using the CC field tag, for example,  enter 'cc: EE110' to retrieve all records tagged with the Agricultural Economics, EE110 CABI Code&#x20;

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.cabi.org/cabi-digital-library-help/search/cabi-codes-cabi-subject-classification-codes.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
