| Subject markup was in DocBook long time before topic maps become well
| known technology so these elements are not specific for PSI. This
| markup was meant to describe document content based on keywords from
| controlled vocabulary, like:
|
| <subjectset scheme="libraryofcongress">
| <subject>
| <subjectterm>Electronic Publishing</subjectterm>
| </subject>
| <subject>
| <subjectterm>SGML (Computer program language)</subjectterm>
| </subject>
| </subjectset>
But I would imagine that that satisfies the requirements for PSI.
If not, I'd be curious to know how it fails.
Be seeing you,
