Meta Data

Metadata is 'data the provides information about other data'. For my project I will be focusing on one type of metadata known as descriptive metadata. Descriptive metadata describes ' a resource for purposes such as discovery and identification. It can include elements such as title, abstract, author and keywords'. 

 The use of these keywords will allow my web application receive 'hits' as my web application becomes more popular. To develop these metadata keywords, I followed a tutorial available on W3Schools. 

 To develop meta data you simply include a description within the HTML document. Within the document the meta data must appear within the header tags.
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials">
  <meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS,XML,JavaScript">
  <meta name="author" content="John Doe">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

</head>
