meta tags

[Mary Ann Harlan <persei@earthlink.net>]

Had an interesting conversation on the train the other day about our
profession and technology.  Somehow it led to cataloging and then meta
tags in web sites.  The gentleman was asking me if there were any rules
to developing the words and phrases used in meta tags similiar to LC or
Sears subject headings.  I didn't think so but I thought I'd ask.  It is
a business site and he wants optimum hits with search engines so I did
suggest using subject headings along with Broader, Narrower, and Related
terms and anything suggested as a see also.  Any insight?
