Re: Question about <selector>

The home of the declaration gives the scope;
The selector gives the things identified;
The field(s) give(s) the identifier(s).

So e.g. <vehicle> might be identified within <state> by <plateNumber>:

  <element name="state" . . .>
   . . .
   <key name='vehicleInState'>
    <selector>.//vehicle</selector>
    <field>plateNumber</field>
   </key>
  </element>
