    Interface Subject

    Subjects are used to make works searchable by what the work is about.

    Each Subject in Cordata are an entity consisting of a focus, optional subdivision(s), optional qualifier and a Dewey classification number. This allows for the construction of complex subject strings while retaining the identities of the entities that make up the subject string.

    For example, in the subject "Verdenskrigen, 1939-1945 - Krigsoperasjoner - Stillehavet : 94 " the elements that make up the subject consist of the Event Verdenskrigen, 1939-1945, which in its turn has the alternative label Andre verdenskrig and is linked to the timespan of the event, the Concept Krigsoperasjoner, the Place Stillehavet, and the Dewey classification number.

    Intended viewing order and conventional punctuation is "Focus - Subdivision - Subdivision - Temporal subdivision : qualifier : WebDewey". Subdivision order is chosen by the cataloger according to the PMEST ruleset and needs to be preserved.
