TN-O07 Which data appears in the Meta Data Report?

The Excel Meta Data report includes all the the <meta> tags on each page, in addition to the page title. Dublin Core meta data is only exported if it's used on the site. For example, the meta data gathered from the home page of cftc.gov is:

			
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18854" />
<meta name="DC.type" content="Generic" /> 
<meta name="DC.date.published" content="12/3/2008 1:49 PM" /> 
<meta name="DC.audience" content="General Public" /> 
<meta name="DC.creator" content="Offices of the Chairman, Office of ..." /> 
<meta name="DC.subject" content=",  , , , " /> 
<meta name="DC.description" content="CFTC.gov Home Page" /> 
<meta name="DC.language" content="English" /> 
<meta name="DC.date.modified" content="12/3/2008 1:49 PM" /> 
<meta name="DC.date.refresh" content="" /> 
			

For a page on blogs.microsoft.com the meta data is:
