    Subject: RE: [dita] Keywords in DITA


    Title: Message
    Paul, I do not support your proposed definition of a keyword. I find it too restrictive.
     
    Not all topics are about software languages or user interfaces. Yet, keywords are always important to identify the topics' most important terms or concepts. For example, I am currently documenting a product that aggregates news content for automated press clipping activities. Some of my keywords are "news", "articles", "biographies", "press clipping", "news monitoring", "embargo", etc.
     
    Basically, I think our definition of keyword should be closer to: "Keyword is an element that identifies terms that define or are closely related to a topic's content". However, I can see how keyword could be specialized to become more restrictive and identify only words from a software language or gui items.
