These are the essential metatags and metadescriptors to be incorporated into documentation of open hardware projects:

  1. OSHW – The tags that identifies the entire project as open source hardware
  2. Entity – The person or organization responsible for the project
  3. Project Name – Something unique that identifies the specific project
  4. Version – An alpha-numeric code that increments at milestones
  5. Completion Status – The general maturity level of the project
  6. Version Date – Last time the version number changed
  7. Terms of Use – Any terms of use or licensing compatible with the latest version of the open source hardware definition
  8. Summary – The project pitch – short (140 characters?)
  9. Keywords – A comma separated list of synonyms – tags for search engine optimization
  10. Description – The detailed description of the project
  11. Predecessors – This project descended from…
  12. Content Location – A URL to the main project repository

This is a standard proposed during the Open Source Hardware Documentation Jam of 2012.
