<topicmeta>
The <topicmeta>
element defines the metadata that applies to a
topic when it appears in a map. When appropriate, that metadata also applies to the other topics
in the map that are contained by the same element that contains the <topicmeta>
element.
When creating links, <topicmeta>
content can also be used to override the title and short
description that are used for the link. In addition, it can be used to add index entries to
referenced content using the <keywords>
element.
<topicmeta>
element is specific to a given
context within a map. If a reference to a single resource appears more than once in a map or
set of maps, unique metadata may be specified in each instance. For example, the two
references to a single resource may specify different navigation titles or search titles, each
of which is specific to a single context.<topicmeta>
cascade to other
<topicref>
elements. In addition, the topic Reconciling topic and map metadata elements provides more information about how metadata specified in the map
interacts with metadata specified in each topic.See appendix for information about this element in OASIS document type shells.
