In many fields and territories, a number of controlled vocabularies are in use to identify subjects. For example THEMA is used in the publishing industry to provide an international subject scheme.

To indicate that a subject belongs to a particular scheme, the `scheme` element is available. The `scheme` must be a URI.

The `code` element is available to provide the string that identifies the subject in a given scheme:

```json
"subject": {
"name": "Manga: Shonen",
"sortAs": "Shonen",
"scheme": "http://www.editeur.org/151/Thema/",
"scheme": "https://ns.editeur.org/thema/",
"code": "XAMG"
}
```

To indicate that a subject belongs to a particular scheme, the `scheme` element is available. The `scheme` must be a URI.

This document identifies the following subject schemes along with a recommended URI value for them:
| Scheme | URI |
| ------- | --- |
| BIC | <https://bic.org.uk/> |
| BISAC | <https://www.bisg.org/#bisac> |
| CLIL | <http://clil.org/> |
| Thema | <https://ns.editeur.org/thema/> |


## Collections & series
