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 p-admin, you can set/change your meta data.
Procedure:
|1| Click in the main menu on Meta info.
|2| In the row "Metatags" click on the modify-button.
|3| 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, etc. 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. |
|4| 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. |
