<metadata>
The <metadata> section of the <prolog>
contains information about a topic such as audience and product information. Metadata
can be
used by computational processes to select particular topics or to prepare search indexes
or to
customize navigation. Elements inside of <metadata> provide information
about the content and subject of a topic; <prolog> elements outside of
<metadata> provide lifecycle information for the content unit (such
as the author or copyright), which are unrelated to the subject.
