Description

KeywordSet is a set of Keywords, which are terms that describe the content of a document. KeywordSet may appear only in metadata containers, such as BookInfo and Sect1Info; the Keywords apply to the corresponding document (Book and Sect1, in this example).

Unlike SubjectTerms, which should be drawn from a controlled vocabulary, Keywords may be freely chosen by author, editor, publisher, and so on; they should be useful for searching by users without use of a controlled vocabulary.

More than one KeywordSet can be supplied in a metadata container, although no element-specific facility is supplied for differentiating sibling KeywordSets. But KeywordSet has common attributes, and their values may serve as differentiators.

No default is specified for the relationship of KeywordSets in parts of a document to KeywordSets in larger and enclosing parts of a document.

Parents

These elements contain KeywordSet: BookInfo, DocInfo, RefSect1Info, RefSect2Info, RefSect3Info, RefSynopsisDivInfo, Sect1Info, Sect2Info, Sect3Info, Sect4Info, Sect5Info, and SetInfo.

Children

KeywordSet contains Keyword.

In some contexts, some of these elements may be invalid due to exclusions in parent elements.
