Hi all,
I am sure most of you have heard about this Tags DCMI and some of you already may be using this.

Actually few days I have come across and found interesting but have very little idea.

I mean how one can define ? Should I define in all the page ? Does it help?

I shall be thankful for you share on this.
Sunny

Dublin Core meta tags are still around for websites? I'm sure there was an SE in the 90s that recognized them... (Inktomi?) If there was a modern SE that recognized them I'm sure more attention would be paid to them on the SEO side.

i've assumed for a long time now that DCMI might be useful for a custom internal search feature but certainly not GBY or any of the 2nd tier SEs.

as of 2003 (!) this is what the dublincore FAQ said.

What search-engines support the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set?:
