Documenting Distribution Information
Keywords are words or phrases that describe the metadata resource. They facilitate search, indexing and discovery of metadata, and are the largest single component of many metadata collections, regardless of the dialect. Keywords usually come from shared vocabularies in order to encourage consistency across metadata collections. Keywords can support text searches as well as facet searches.
