 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF META TAGS.

Alex burson and Larry Dubov (2023)

1. Consistency of definitions.

In order to harmonize language such as clients and customers, revenue and sales, metadata provides information about the data itself.

2. Clarity of relationships.

When establishing the relationships between the objects contained throughout the data environment, metadata aids in resolving ambiguity and inconsistencies.

3. Data lineage clarity.

Metadata can preserve permissible values for a data attribute, its right format, location, owner, and steward; metadata can be detailed enough to specify information at the attribute level. Metadata includes information about the sources of a certain data collection.

Disadvantages.

1. Cannibalization of phrases.

2. Creating a large number of sites.

3. Content duplication.

ignisev.com (2022) The following actions may be taken to address the drawbacks of meta tags, for example: the keywords or phrases used as tags should be general enough to apply to numerous articles; the list of tags on a page should only include those that are required and appropriate; and there should be no suggestion on the website that word variations, synonyms, or closely related words may be used as successive tags. Furthermore, tag URLs must be brief, clear, and user-friendly. It may be beneficial to provide custom descriptions for some tags.[https://www.ignisdev.com/en/blog-content/website-tags-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-tagging]
