Defining or Editing Inheritance Exceptions

Some link classes pass title, author, and subject keywords to bibs that are linked to them. Other classes pass only some keywords, or no keywords at all. (For example, the Bounded class does not pass any keywords, because the bib records in this class are not necessarily related to each other.)

Keywords that are prohibited from being passed on to linked bib records are called “inheritance exceptions.” These are the bib keywords that are inherited, or passed on, for each class (the link direction is the direction in which the keyword is passed):
