Element: Subject
- Interpretation: Keywords about the theme and/or concept of the resource, as well as terms signifying significant associations of people, places, and events or other contextual information.
- Guideline Do not strictly interpret the element name “Subject,” which tends to lock our thinking into formal “subject terms” such as those used in bibliographic metadata. “Keywords” is a more appropriate interpretation of the kind of values that are useful for this element—index terms, or descriptors, rather than specific-to-broad categorizations of intellectual content.
