Brief description
Tags and categories could be very helpful to allow users to better navigate OWW. We may want to use a delicious-style system where users can make their own "personal" tag lists, or something where there are over-all categories (e.g. wikipedia categories).
Detailed description
- See OpenWetWare:Information management/Tags for a proposed list of "standard" tags.
- See Avenue A | Razorfish for screenshots of integration of tag clouds and wiki's.
- Issues:
- Standardization - do we need to have a fixed ontology in order to be able to mine it down the line?
- Motivation - maximum flexibility in tag names could make it easier to use
- Also, "personalized" tags might be nice. (e.g. I would probably use tags heavily if they were for my personal use. e.g. I would go to jason kelly/protocols and see all the pages I tagged protocol, etc.) So I could use it as a personal navigation system for the site, and then that could be mined. This is the del.icio.us model.
Issues
- Controlled vocabulary vs free-for-all
- How do we encourage people to tag pages?
- Shared tags or personal tagging
