There are standards for metadata and metatags. The Dublin Core metadata standard is a set of fifteen elements used to describe a wide range of networked resources. The semantics of these fifteen elements have been established through consensus by an international, cross-disciplinary group of professionals from the library, museum, computer science, and text encoding communities. One source for details about this is the Colorado Digitization Project. This site also contains standards for digitizing information from primary sources (scanning issues, policy questions, etc). http://coloradodigital.coalliance.org/standard.html ____________________________________________ Eugene Hainer Colorado State Library 201 E.

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? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
