Tagging
Tagging
04/10/2005 09:53 PMThe idea of "tagging" content is suddenly everywhere. With Flickr and del.icio.us and Technorati embracing the concept
of tags, suddenly it's getting some broad acceptance.
But what are "tags"? At the most basic level, they're just
keywords — categorization without a master table of categories.
Categorization that people can make up on the fly without having to
"create" the tag in advance or fit it into some taxonomy. It's
categorization from the bottom up, exactly like I theorized on here but never implemented.
What's the drawback? Mainly, that tags won't get standardized. I
may tag my articles with "automotive" while you may tag them with
"cars." Or that you may mispell a tag name once in a while and not
notice it.
But this apparently doesn't matter so much to anyone. Tagging is
the Next Big Thing, even though it's a technical step backwards from
the button-downed, tightly normalized way of doing things.
I think it's refreshing. It's nice to let our a deep breath and
just use something that works without having to make Poindexter the
Perfect Programmer happy.
Jon Udell gave a great
screencast about a month ago about del.icio.us and how he uses it.
It's worth watching if you haven't grasped the significance of the
tagging phenomenon. Towards the end, he gets into the "soft" topic
of how languages are formed and how tagging is a way of essentially
writing another language which isn't perfect but comes about though
informal usage, negotiation, and acceptance. (This is technically
called a Creole.)
For those more interested in the technical ramifications of all
this, here's a
page with links to resources on how to make SQL understand tag
concepts, regardless of application.

Sen. Bill Frist was able to diagnosis Terri Schiavo on the basis of a
video of her. So, Michael suggests that we upload photos to flickr of
our medical conditions — "tennis elbow, acne, runny nose,
hemorrhoids, or whatever ails you" — and tag them "Frist" so the
good doctor can diagnose us as well....
A Problem with Tagging
A Problem with Tagging
06/17/2005 03:45 PMI wonder how long before the whole tagging
phenomenon jumps the
shark? I like it and everything, but have a sneaking suspicion
that we're going to come full circle back to taxonomies.
We've talked about tax
onomies before — these are the big parent-child tree
structures that have traditionally defined information architecture.
Tagging is a direct response to the complication and "monolithic-ness"
of the taxonomy — instead of defining the entire tree, you just
label the one leaf that you're working with.
But what happens when the tree starts creeping back?
For instance, one of the drawbacks with tagging is that people have
different names for the different things. What I call "automotive,"
you might call "cars," so our entries don't appear under the same tag.
Have this happen enough times, and it gets annoying.
How do we get around this? Well, let's create a thesaurus then.
Let's tell the system that "cars" and "automotive" are more or less
the same thing, so if someone searches for anything tagged
"automotive," return anything tagged as "cars" as well. Awesome
— now we're back in action, even though we have a bit of a
top-down system to maintain. It's a small price to pay.
But what happens when someone wants to broaden their search beyond
just a simple tag? Instead of just automotive-related items, I want
to find anything to do with vehicles.
How do I back up from "automotive" to "vehicles"? Well, we need to
tell the system that "cars" is a child of "vehicles." For
that matter, there are more than just that in "vehicles." "Vehicles"
is really a parent of "planes," "trains," and "boats" too.
No problem, we just need to create a recursive table that tracks how
tags are related to each other, like...a taxonomy of
tags...
And, with that, we've come full circle back to the top-down
taxonomy. Wow, that was quick.
I don't think this is so bad, because it still has some advantages.
The editing interface for tags (a simple texbox) is much better than
the mess we get with parent-child stuff (usually a huge list of
checkboxes).
Additionally, tag-based organization can kind of define itself.
Instead of sitting around thinking up a huge taxonomy before you get
started, you can watch the tags that come rolling through the system
and just organize them as they come in. ("Oh look, another tag for
'hydrofoils.' Maybe we can stick that under 'boats'..")
Finally, if you're really anal retentive, you can "normalize" the
tags as they get applied. When an item gets submitted with "cars" and
"howto" assigned, you can detect and change them to "automotive" and
"turorial" if you like. Be sure to notify the user, however, so they
know where to find the thing when they go looking for it (or just make
sure the the thesaurus has the correct relationships defined).
Anyone have thoughts on this? Am I just trying to rain on the
tagging parade?

“Del.icio.us, the bookmarking website
with tags that I discussed on January 6, seems like the perfect tool for creating
course-specific subject guides. Just agree on a tag, like the course
number, and the subject librarian, professor, and students can build a
subject guide cooperatively, on the fly.
I just tagged the
two resources I identified for my Digital Libraries class with the
course number. So they are now easily found by myself, and anyone else
in the class, at del.icio.us/tag/sislt9409.
” [Wanderings of a

Joy Weese Moll demonstrates
another way in which librarians and librarians-to-be can take
advantage of tagging and folksonomies! It will be interesting to see
if her teacher or her fellow students begin contributing to the tag.

Tagging is useful at personal level for categorizing data of any
size and type without
the constrain of hierarchy. While WinFS is more than this,
adding tagging to
traditional file system will deliver most of the benefits WinFS
offers at the user
experience level.
But IMHO the real power of tagging can be hatched only at
the workgroup level.
This means introducing new ways (UI-wise) to expose and discover
tags others use with
the same level of ease as children learn new words.

The
Nature of Normal Human Variety A talk with
Dr. Armand Leroi
(his
website).
"Almost uniquely among modern scientific problems [the problem of
normal human variety] is a problem that we can apprehend as we walk
down the street. We live in an age now where the deepest scientific
problems are buried away from our immediate perception. They concern
the origin of the universe. They concern the relationships of
subatomic particles. They concern the nature and structure of the
human genome. Nobody can see these things without large bits of
expensive equipment. But when I consider the problem of human variety
I feel as Aristotle must have felt when he first walked down to the
shore at Lesvos for the first time. The world is new again."
