These pieces of information are useful for finding a known item, where the user is searching for a specific broadcast that they already know exists. For the user searching more broadly by subjects or keywords, like “Indigenous” or “World War One”, they’re not going to find this record. We need to capture more information, so that broader searches will find this record in Trove. Luckily the ABC has included a large number of tags for each segment. These tags aren’t viewable to an ordinary user with their web browser but include additional helpful information – subjects, a brief description of the segment and more – that facilitate better discovery. To create a record for Trove, we capture data from both the elements displayed to users and this hidden data from tags.
