The Associated Press is proposing new tags for the Web. The descriptive tags will be used by search engines to identify the author, publisher, and usage restriction for copyrighted materials, as well as placing those articles in the top of search results. AP hopes these new tags will generate more traffic and advertising revenue for established news providers, and stop the free-for-all of news and information on the Web. http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090710/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_associated_press_online_formatting
