Description
An index is a set of systematically/alphabetically arranged words/group of words.
This element contains an index of the terms used in an article, or a journal issue or range of issues. The index entries that it contains may be grouped into index divisions, which may be preceded by a title, followed by ungrouped entries mixed with paragraphs.
This element contains two attributes. The attribute 'id' (required) bears the unique identifier value. The attribute 'type' bears the type of index (i.e., author index, subject index, or miscellaneous).
