metataggar

Metataggar is a term used in discussions of metadata management to describe a framework or toolset for defining, generating, validating, and organizing metadata tags for digital assets.

A metataggar system typically includes a tag schema repository, a tagging engine, validation rules, localization support, and export capabilities. It aims to provide a consistent vocabulary for describing assets such as web pages, images, documents, and multimedia, and to automate the production of tags across formats.

Formats supported may include HTML meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter Card data, as well as structured data formats such as JSON-LD, RDFa, and XML. It can integrate with content management systems and asset management platforms through APIs and plugins. Versioning, access control, and audit trails help manage changes to tag definitions over time.

Applications span search engine optimization, social sharing, accessibility, digital libraries, and archiving. By consolidating tag definitions, metataggar reduces tag duplication and helps ensure consistency across websites and assets.

The term is not tied to a single formal standard. Metataggar is often described as a conceptual or workflow-oriented approach within metadata communities, rather than a spec with a universal governing body. As such, implementations vary and are typically tailored to an organization's existing standards and tech stack.
