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

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

This is a standard proposed as a result of the Open Source Hardware Documentation Jam of 2013.

Procedure

External projects and OSE projects are encouraged to use the above tags such as OSHW-OSE-CNC_Torch_Table-v1 and so on.

The template for this needs to be built, under Wiki Templates.
