The @subjectrefs attribute

The @subjectrefs attribute specifies one or more keys that are defined by a subject definition in a subject scheme map. Multiple values are separated by white space.

The @subjectrefs attribute cascades. When specified on a topic reference, the @subjectrefs attribute associates the referenced resource with subjects that are defined in subject scheme maps.

The DITA 2.0 specification does not indicate processing expectations for the @subjectrefs attribute. The DITA Technical Committee expects to specify such expectations in the future.
