Feedback

The definition of this term allows for multiple subject keywords to be entered here, which seems reasonable. However the format only allows for one string. The definition should either suggest how multiple values are supposed to be entered (e.g. comma separated or pipe separated) or the term should be adjusted to allow for multiple keywords in form of an array (thus changing the data type of this property).

Correcting this to a single item in the definition Keywords → Keyword as dcterms:subject indicates that this can be used for a URI or a literal value. Unless there is a clear need for an array of values, I propose we stick to a singular.

After additional discussion, this has been changed to an array of strings
