ONIX code in metadata
Hello:

I am trying to embed my BISAC categories and keywords into my ePub's metadata. The ONIX for Books, section P.12.6, gives the example of delivering both BISAC and keywords using reference names:

Code:
	
    <Subject>	
        <MainSubject/>	
        <SubjectSchemeIdentifier>10</SubjectSchemeIdentifier>	
        <SubjectSchemeVersion>2012</SubjectSchemeVersion>	
        <SubjectCode>GAR006000</SubjectCode>	
    </Subject>	
    <Subject>	
        <SubjectSchemeIdentifier>10</SubjectSchemeIdentifier>	
        <SubjectSchemeVersion>2012</SubjectSchemeVersion>	
        <SubjectCode>GAR028000</SubjectCode>	
    </Subject>	
    <Subject>	
        <SubjectSchemeIdentifier>20</SubjectSchemeIdentifier>	
        <SubjectHeadingText>garden design; urban; patio; container</SubjectHeadingText>	
    </Subject>
With "10" referring to BISAC, "2012" referring to the BISAC version, "GAR006000" the BISAC code; and "20" refers to "keywords."

Seems straightforward, but when I try to validate the ePub it fails because none of these elements are recognized. So next I tried
Code:
<dc:subject>
and that was recognized but none of the others. I also tried putting "dc:" in front of the remaining elements but it made no difference (see SS attached).

Does anyone have any idea how to embed my BISAC categories and keywords into the metadata in a way IDPF will accept?
