Hello all,

After looking at the site mentioned by Anthony (relating to standards and
local government) I noticed a lot of meta tags on that site [
http://www.salford.gov.uk ] which I haven't seen before, e.g.:

<meta name="eGMS.Date.Modified" content="2005-02-01 11:02" />
<meta name="eGMS.Format" content="html/text" />
<meta name="DC.Coverage.Spatial" content="Salford, England" />
<meta name="DC.Coverage.Temporal" content="2003-04-28 12:54" />

Forgive my ignorance on this, but can meta tags just be 'invented' and be
acceptable 'standards'?  I've searched for guidance on this in the recent
past and not found clear answers. If so I would find it very useful to be
able to make 'notes' in this way. e.g:

<meta name="RHH.Date.First.Created" content = "1896-10-07"/>
<meta name="RHH.CSS.First. Upgrade" content = "2005-02-01"/>
etc.

Can I do this as an 'acceptable' practice?  Are there any things I can't do
and, if so, where can I find the info?

Many thanks,

Bob McClelland,
