    Interface Genre

    Genre is used to group literature and other arts into categories based on stylistic criteria.

    Bibliographic conventions differ as to whether to separate genre and form, as well as in what constitutes a genre and what constitures a form. The Norwegian national thesaurus for genre and form, (@link https://www.nb.no/nbvok/ntsf/nb/ | NTSF), contains both genre and form without separation. For practical reasons, Cordata therefore includes form as a subtype of Genre, using a boolean toggle to indicate form terms.

    Cordata currently contains genres for literature, film and games. Genres for literature and film are mapped to NTSF. Plans are to later include a genre list for music as well.
