<kwd-group>

Keyword Group

Container element for one set of keywords (<kwd>s) used to describe a document.

Remarks

Related Essay: For a discussion on the use of <kwd-group>, see Keywords.

Usage: A document may have multiple sets of keywords, with the @kwd-group-type, @specific-use, or @xml:lang attributes used to discriminate between them. The <kwd> element does not take the @xml:lang attribute, that is reserved for the <kwd-group>. This means that keywords must be sorted by language and entered in language groups.

The @kwd-group-type attribute most commonly names the source of the keywords, such as “ MESH ”, “ ISO-463 ”, or “ author-generated ”. But it is also appropriate to use @kwd-group-type to record the type of keywords, for example, “ hierarchical ” for keywords that are grouped into a hierarchy, “ abbreviations ” for keywords that contain an abbreviation and its expansion, or “ code ” for keywords that contain a code and its text but where the source of the codes is unknown.
