keyword for adaptations
What keyword is commonly used to describe when a title is the only element shared with a sourced literature, which entirely differs in its plot? Also, what keyword describes an adaptation that's fairly faithful except set against a different period or setting? Thanks.

I know it's been quite a while since you asked this question, but I finally have a good answer for you.
If the sourced literature is a poem, then the appropriate keyword is title-based-on-poem.
If the sourced literature is one of Shakespeare's works, then the appropriate keyword is title-based-on-shakespeare.
And if the sourced literature is the Bible, then the appropriate keyword is title-based-on-the-bible.
There should be similar keywords like "title-based-on-novel" and "title-based-on-book," plus a general keyword "title-based-on-literary-work," but unfortunately those have not been created yet.

There's also modern-day-adaptation and modernized-setting, if that applies.

Here are some other possibilities:
loosely-based-on-novel (4 titles)
adapted-from-a-novel (12 titles)
adapted-from-short-novel (5 titles)
adaptation-from-a-poem (1 title)
readaptation (3 titles)
reimagining (35 titles)
different-time-period (5 titles)
And those could still be combined with a standard "based-on-" keyword, which would not necessarily be mutually exclusive with a "loose-" or "adapted-" keyword.
