User talk:Dria/On Tagging

Great! It would play nice with my plan to improve Bayesian to handle multistate. --gandalf 12:01, 15 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Folders (or files) hierarchy aim to be deprecated, for sorting folders, images or bookmarks. I think that the futur is the use of Metadata/category with metadatabot & "browsers by metada" and especially with the help of XPTC core 1.0 technology (aka ~= XMP). http://www.iptc.org/IPTC4XMP/ For me the benefit of this metadata framework, is the use of Dublin Core standard (used also by standards and catalogue coordinator, librarian...), XML RDF standard, UTF-8 standard, open & royalty's free adaptability and portability... (XMP is used in MacOSX search, Adobe's products etc.. for images and files) -- ginkyo 07:56, 16 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Existing bookmarks

How would you import existing bookmarks, and educate the user on switching pardagims entirely. Tagging works because it's to the point, but any auto-tagging done by importing the bookmarks would create a horrible mess and hugely unfriendly to the user who may (or may not) have had their bookamrks previously in an order they were happy with.

That's a really good point. Another person mentioned that web pages often also have really lousy titles, so users would have to be able to modify the title as well as the tags. This article really is just a brainstorm of ideas, and not a full-fledged design, by any means. -- Dria 12:25, 16 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Epiphany

You should try Epiphany, the Gnome official web browser, which is based on gecko. It already have some of the features you propose : It tag bookmark and it's has type ahead search on you bookmark (in the location bar). It may help you to get a better idea of what you exactly want. --Staz 21:46, 16 Oct (EST)

Possibly a good suggestion, but I use OS X. -- Dria 19:36, 16 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Tree-Tagging

One of the falws of tagging is caused by the homonymy of many words. For example, when I tag a link 'Quebec', is it about the town of Quebec or of the province ? Or for the word 'France' ? The first name or the Country ? Having a tag tree will help to solve thoses problems.
