A subjectset is a container for a set of
subjects. All of the subjects
within a subjectset should come from the

A document can be described using terms from more than one
controlled vocabulary. In order to do this, you should use the scheme attribute to distinguish between
controlled vocabularies.

subjectsets of enclosing parts of the document.
