| Algebraic classification of the Weyl tensor is an important tool for solving the Einstein equation. I shall review the classification for spacetimes of dimension greater than four, and recent progress in using it to construct new exact solutions. The higher-dimensional generalization of the Goldberg-Sachs theorem will be discussed. | |||
