Metadata tagging

Metadata tagging can be used to make searching more effective and search results more useful. That is achieved by providing additional information to search engines, helping them to aid discoverability and to find relevant documents and provide more informative descriptions in search results (University of Cambridge, University Information Services, n.d.). See also discoverability.
