<relatedSubjects>
The <relatedSubjects>
element establishes associative
relationships between each child subject and every other child subject (unless the association is
restricted by the @linking
attribute of the subjects).
For filtering and flagging, processors need only inspect the subordinate hierarchies under category subjects that are bound to attributes. Filtering and flagging processors do not have to understand specific types of relationships. Explicit relationships are useful primarily for information viewers with advanced capabilities.
The content provider can identify the relationship by specifying a @keys
attribute, label the relationship by specifying a <navtitle>
element or
@navtitle
attribute, and provide a consensus definition of the
relationship including by referencing a topic. If the relationship has an identifying key, the
content provider can use the @keyref
attribute to specify the same relationship for
different subjects.
