<compound-kwd-part> Compound Keyword Part

Individual component of a multi-part keyword (for example, a code, the code’s meaning).

Usage/Remarks

Some keywords are a simple word or phrase; such keywords should generally be tagged using the <kwd> element. The <compound-kwd> element is used when keywords are composed of multiple parts, such as:
  • a code and its meaning, or
  • an abbreviation and its expansion.
For more information on the handling of compound keywords, see the tagging practices section Complex/Compound/Nested Keywords.
It is recommended that the @content-type attribute be used to indicate the role of each <compound-kwd-part>. Example values corresponding to the examples given in the list above, might be code with text for the meaning or abbrev with expansion.

Attribute Best Practice

If the content of the <compound-kwd-part> element is a term from a controlled vocabulary (ontology, taxonomy, term-list, vocabulary, industry glossary, or other known source), the term identification attributes should be used to identify that source. The vocabulary attributes should also be used, unless the vocabulary has already been named on the <compound-kwd>.
Related Elements
One <compound-kwd-part> element is used to mark each component of a complex keyword that is contained within a <compound-kwd>.
