In order that your platform is found more easily and registered by search engines, it is useful to define the so-called "Meta-Data". This data may also be useful for the web browser and mainly contains information about the author, contents of the files, key words, copyright data, etc. about your pages. With the help of the interface in the pAdmin, you can set/change your meta data.
Procedure: |1| Click in the main menu on Metatags
|2| In the row "groups" select the checkbox in the column "edit" from the property selector and click "next".
Now complete the following fields:
| revisit-after: | this is a request to the search engine robot to search through the contents of the platform again after a certain period of time. Use the following format input; for example, "20 days." |
| author: | Name of the author of a platform |
| DC.Language: | Here you can indicate the national language in which the contents of the file are written. Language abbreviations are expected; e.g., German = de, English = en, Spanish = es, .... you can find a list of all the language abbreviations under the following URL: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html |
| DC.Rights: | Here you can create a copyright message for the contents on your platform. You can indicate, in addition, the URL under which the exact copyright data is given. |
| DC.Publisher: | Here you can enter who is responsible for the publication of the data. That can be the author him/herself, but also a publishing house. |
| DC.Contributer: | Here you can indicate the co-author(s) or person(s) who are otherwise considerably involved with the contents, besides the main author (For example, a commercial artist, musician, or translator). In case you enter several pieces of data, separate the names using commas. |
|3| Now the following fields are still missing:
You can enter the description (description of contents) and the keywords in several languages. In addition, please give the respective pair of fields the appropriate language abbreviations (see DC.Language)
| language: | Here you must enter the language abbreviation. |
| description: | This text is displayed in the "hit-list" of a search engine, if your platform comes up in a search as a possible result. |
| Keywords: | With these you can accurately describe your platform. People that search for one of these key words using a search engine should be directed by the search engine to your platform. Do not enter too many key words. It is recommended to enter at most 20 key words. It also makes sense to list the words in singular and plural. |
