My HTML5 template has h1 elements on every page (that I use for keyword) on top left part of the page.
Is there a role attribute to sign them as tags like the tags in WorPress?

What do you want to achieve with it? – Patrick Hofman Oct 24 '14 at 09:22

If you are using `h1` to mean "Some keywords" instead of "The most important heading on the page", then you are using it wrong. – Quentin Oct 24 '14 at 09:36

but I know that it is recommended to use h1s on a page several times for html5. – nikel Oct 24 '14 at 09:38

As defined by W3C, you can use this values for role attribute:
bannercomplementarycontentinfodefinitionmainnavigationnotesearch
contentinfo purpose is to provide meta information about the content, so it could be used for tag management. That said, <h1> shouldn't be used as tags, as it's main purpose is to explicitly describe the whole page

You can find a list of all WAI-ARIA roles in the WAI-ARIA 1.0 specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-wai-aria-20140320/roles#role_definitions
There doesn’t seem to be a role for tags. The contentinfo role could be used for the element that contains all tags the current document is tagged with.
In HTML5, contentinfo is the default role for the footer element, which is the element you should use for tags anyhow (instead of h1, which would typically be not correct). You might be interested in my related answer about semantic markup for tags.
