May contain

core: list term

Note

Each individual keyword (including compound subject headings) should be supplied as a term element directly within the keywords element. An alternative usage, in which each term appears within an item inside a list is permitted for backwards compatibility, but is deprecated.

If no control list exists for the keywords used, then no value should be supplied for the scheme attribute.

Example

<keywords scheme="http://classificationweb.net">
<term>Babbage, Charles</term>
<term>Mathematicians - Great Britain - Biography</term>
</keywords>

Example

<keywords>
<term>Fermented beverages</term>
<term>Central Andes</term>
<term>Schinus molle</term>
<term>Molle beer</term>
<term>Indigenous peoples</term>
<term>Ethnography</term>
<term>Archaeology</term>
</keywords>
