<kwd-group>
Keyword Group
Container element for one set of keywords (such as <kwd>s, <nested-kwd>s, or <compound-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 take 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 identify 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.
Attribute Best Practice: If the content of the <kwd-group> element is a term from a controlled vocabulary (ontology, taxonomy, term-list, vocabulary, industry glossary, or other known source), the vocabulary attributes should be used to record that source. The source named can be a formal ontology or an informal field of study. Two attributes are used in this Tag Set to identify such a controlled or uncontrolled vocabulary:
vocab | Name of the controlled or uncontrolled vocabulary, taxonomy, ontology, index, database, or similar that is the source of the term. For example, for a subject term, a value might be the IPC Codes (“ipc”) or MESH headings
(“mesh”). For an uncontrolled term, the value might be
an area of study such as “medical-devices” or merely the word “uncontrolled”. |
|---|---|
vocab-identifier | Unique identifier of the vocabulary, such as (but not limited to) a URI or DOI. For example, for Dublin Core (DCC), the identifier may be “http://dublincore.org/documents/2012/06/14/dces/”. |
