Description

SubjectSet is a container for one or more Subjects, which are sets of SubjectTerms that indicate the subject of the content of a document. All the Subjects in a SubjectSet employ the same controlled vocabulary, which may be specified in the Scheme attribute.

SubjectSet may appear only in metadata containers, such as BookInfo and Sect1Info; the SubjectTerms apply to the corresponding document (Book and Sect1, in this example). More than one SubjectSet can be supplied, so that more than one controlled vocabulary can be used to describe the document content.

Aside from Scheme, SubjectSet has common attributes.

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

Parents

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

Children

SubjectSet contains Subject.

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

Attributes

Scheme
