I dislike the expression "keywords" and think it is best avoided, 
because it is ambiguous and used loosely with different meanings.

Sometimes it means terms from the text of a document used for retrieval 
(as in "keyword in context (KWIC) indexing"), sometimes it means 
descriptors or indexing terms assigned to the document from a controlled

vocabulary, and sometimes it means uncontrolled terms assigned to the 
document by the indexer.
