N2 - In 2005, the International Lipid Classification
and Nomenclature Committee under the sponsorship of
the LIPID MAPS Consortium developed and established a
“Comprehensive Classification System for Lipids” based
on well-defined chemical and biochemical principles and
using an ontology that is extensible, flexible, and scalable.
This classification system, which is compatible with contemporary
databasing and informatics needs, has now been accepted
internationally and widely adopted. In response to
considerable attention and requests from lipid researchers
from around the globe and in a variety of fields, the comprehensive
classification system has undergone significant revisions
over the last few years to more fully represent lipid
structures from a wider variety of sources and to provide additional
levels of detail as necessary. The details of this
classification system are reviewed and updated and are presented
here, along with revisions to its suggested nomenclature
and structure-drawing recommendations for lipids.—Fahy,
