Right. Here is an example:

<topic id="amazon-region">
   <!-- basename here -->
  <occurrence id="amazon-region-occ1">
    <resourceRef .... />
  </occurrence>
</topic>


<topic id="handle-for-amazon-region-occ1">
  <subjectIdentity>
    <subjectIndicatorRef xlink:href="#amazon-region-occ1" />
  <subjectIdentity>
  <instanceOf>
     <topicRef xlink:href="#detailed-description" />
  </instanceOf>
  <instanceOf>
     <topicRef xlink:href="#description-suitable-for-travelguides" />
  </instanceOf>
</topic>
