IMRC - Indexing Federal Government Web Pages:
Guidelines for the Development of an Indexing Policy |
|
|
Indexing policies should be developed and used in conjunction with:
- TBITS 39: Treasury Board Information Management Standard,
Part 1: Government On-Line Metadata Standard
http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/its-nit/standards/tbits39/crit391_e.asp
- TBITS 39: Treasury Board Information Management Standard,
Part 2: Controlled Vocabulary Standard
http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/its-nit/standards/tbits39/crit392_e.asp
- The larger the number of documents to be indexed, the
greater will be the requirement to establish priorities among document types
to be indexed.
- In general, index as many pages as possible, but index main
pages, such as welcome and home pages first. In addition, index pages
containing:
- Programs or services in high demand (especially online services);
- Information about entitlements, rights or obligations;
- Information about dangers or risks to health, safety or the environment;
- Information required for understanding major new priorities, laws,
policies, programs or services.
The TBS Metadata Standard (TBITS 39.1), Section 3 provides a complete list of
resource types to which metadata (including index terms) should be applied.
