Search Engines

The Government search engine currently in use and/or any future search engine will be configured to take full advantage of the DC metadata element set included as part of the IPSMS. It will be configured to interrogate all or specific tags, and to facilitate the production of certain outputs, such as recent publications lists.

Web-based search engines currently do not index custom metadata (e.g. DC). Consequently, the traditional meta Keyword and Description tags should continue in use, mirroring the contents of the DC.Subject and DC.Description tags, respectively.
