The metadata elements clustered under SUBJECTS define the broad topical areas for the intellectual content present in a media item. Typically, a subject area is expressed by a limited number of keywords, key phrases, or even specific classification codes. Controlled vocabularies, authorities, or formal classification schemes are employed when selecting descriptive subject terms rather than using random words. However, UMAP draws a distinction between its use of the content class "Subjects" and the more conventional use of "Subjects" in other metadata schemas. In other schemas "Subjects" is often synonymous with "Keywords." But because of its close affiliation to Utah's K-12 public education, UMAP (through eMedia) defines subject areas according to Utah's state core curriculum definition of subjects, classes, and objectives. Nevertheless, other curriculum definitions of subjects, as well as higher education's preference for correlations with "academic disciplines," are accommodated in UMAP. More granular "subject/keyword descriptions" related to the intellectual content of media items are handled by the metadata fields clustered under the content class KEYWORDS. |

If the Utah Core Areas are selected as the authority for standards and subjects, then UTAH K-12 SUBJECT AREAS/UTAH CORE AREA provides 17 General Education Subject Areas to choose from to describe a media item and its best fit into classroom instruction. Selecting more than one subject area is permitted. |
|
Utah's Core Curriculum Standards also define specific "Courses" under each general subject "Area." However, UMAP does not ask for subject descriptions beyond the core subject areas. |
