The metadata elements clustered under KEYWORD SEARCHES are an aggregation of descriptors that identify people, places, things, activities, and time/date/year associations, using established picklists and authorities for recommended words, phrases, and values where possible. KEYWORD SEARCHES is intended to collect under a single "umbrella" summary field all the relevant, searchable field topics and names (similar to the way in which end users "Google" online resources). Keywords improve the "findability" of relevant media assets. |
