Tagging

From Datafedwiki

Tagging is a way to group resources after they are on the web.

Tagging adds fields to a database and allows queries to be made across the database.

Using a common tag within a group allows for two-way transfer... Communication with tags? (Collaborative list curation)

• Speaking is writing tags/creating new tags
• hearing means reading tags and noticing how they are applied.

• Feedback - Who else tagged this link? What did they say? what tags did they use?

• Capturing set of links used for each activity, one piece of metadata.
• unique tags for a project, tags that mean a certain origin (i.e. came from jon's blog), date tag
• twitter inspired via:person to tell where something came from
• system:media:audio gives all mp3 links
• Tagging future-proofs (concept came up in class) as you add more bookmarks tagged a certain way they will automatically show up in the wiki.

Infoworld has one account with multiple editors... we have multiple accounts with one editor each. Is there a benefit to having a dedicated account for the class? Controlled Tagging
