Tagging Information

[Victoria Moulder]

Hi All,

Design MTG Reflection: I’m glad Jess and Ron made the analogy between our design team status and being lost in the forest - and our role is to collaboratively design the map as we go along. Conceptually - knowing that the map is in progress is comforting ;) 

About tagging: I've been digging into Semantic Search technologies as part of my thesis research – currently I’m look at a project called Europeana [http://dev.europeana.eu/about.php] and the way they are using tagging.  Europeana is the European digital library, museum and archive – is a 2-year project that began in July 2007.  Their end goal is to produce a site giving users direct access to some 2 million digital objects, including film material, photos, paintings, sounds, maps, manuscripts, books, newspapers and archival papers.
