We have different set of editable fields for different UMOs. Which fields
are you going to use for automatic generation? All of them? If not, how
will  you know which fields content will be used for keywords creation?

Can you please tell how keywords will be displayed on UI(if at all)?

That sounds very good. However I have a question, what about translations?
Will the automatic keyword generator be able to handle different
languages, for example, japanese euroglyphus?
Are you going to generate set of keywords for every possible language?
