| META Tags META
Tags are tags that appear in the <HEAD> . . . </HEAD> part of your HTML
document. The META element can be used to give information about the document in general
(i.e., author, expiration date, a list of key words, etc.) and assign values to those
properties. Each META element specifies a property/value pair. The "NAME"
attribute identifies the property and the "CONTENT" attribute specifies the
property's value. For example --
<META NAME="author" CONTENT="John Q. Public">
<META NAME="generator" CONTENT="PageMill 2.0">
<META NAME="expiration" CONTENT="05151999">
<META NAME="notification" CONTENT="05011999">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="The Indian Health Service web site
is a source of information on health care provided to American Indians and Alaska
Natives.">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Indian Health Service, IHS, health
care, American Indians, Alaska Natives">
Standards
- An "Expiration" and a "Notification" META tag will be included with
each web page that is developed. These two tags will be used as a mechanism to remind the
responsible person or department to review that page and determine whether the
document’s life needs to be updated, extended, or archived.
- All
META tags are dated either the 1st or the 15th of the
month.
- The first of these two META tags provides the expiration date.
- The expiration date will be no longer than one year from the date that the web page was
developed or last reviewed.
- The second of these two META tags provides the notification date. The notification date
will be 15 days prior to the expiration date.
- When the "Notification" date arrives, the person(s) responsible for the web
page will be responsible for reviewing the designated page(s) and updating the META tags.
- All documents must be reviewed at least annually.
- Twice a month the Web Support staff will search the web site for expired documents and
notify the owner of the page.
