Johannes,

I would use a resource data occurrence for this purpose:

<topic id="t1">
  <basename>
    <baseNameString>Automobiles</baseNameString>
  </baseName>
  <occurrence>
    <instanceOf>
      <topicRef xlink:href="#keywords" />
    </instanceOf>
    <resourceData>
      tires; windscreen; gears; trunk; engine;
    </resourcedata>
  </occurrence>
</topic>

Hope that helps,

Jan
