  • About half of the genre definitions included subject attributes, indicating a focus on context and content.
  • The analysis of the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms revealed commonalities in generic attributes across various art forms.
  • Different emphases on attributes reflect the unique nature and circumstances of each art form while maintaining key connections.
