<subj-group>

Subject Group

Container element for the subject matter designations describing a book part’s content

Remarks

For some journals, articles are grouped into categories which this Tag Set calls <subject>s, which may be grouped in to <subj-group>. These subject categories are typically shown in the print or display of an article. Sometimes the grouping or category refers to the type of article, such as “Essay”, “Commentary”, or “Article”. Sometimes the grouping refers to subject areas, such as “Physical Sciences”, “Biological Sciences”, or “Social Sciences”. Sometimes the grouping refers to topics within the larger subject areas, such as “Applied Math”, “Biology”, or “Chemistry”. For example, a three-level grouping might be: 

<subj-group>
<subject>Biological Sciences</subject>

<subj-group>
<subject>Entomology</subject>
</subj-group>
</subj-group>

And a one-level grouping might be: 

<subj-group>
<subject>Physical Science</subject>
</subj-group>

Book parts may also be assigned to more than one grouping. For example, if a book part is classified as “Biochemistry” under “Biological Sciences” and “Chemistry” under “Physical Sciences”, the <subj-group> container element may repeat. For example: 

<subj-group>
<subject>Biological Sciences</subject>

<subj-group>
<subject>Biochemistry</subject>
</subj-group>
</subj-group>

<subj-group>
<subject>Physical Sciences</subject>

<subj-group>
<subject>Chemistry</subject>
</subj-group>
</subj-group>
