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.
