The Furture Of Tagging

HCI Add comments

Today I read a great article on zooie’s blog about the future of tagging.

Vik Singh wrote about two ways for improving tagging:

  • Support label hierarchies/groupings,
  • Use multiple (but ‘normalized’, explained below) labels per object.

He also wrote about a possible machine learning algorithm for hierarchical multi-labeling tags.

    Paul Heymann and Hector Garcia-Molina experimented with an algorithm for generating hierarchies of tags. It seems to be fairly successful. I’m waiting to see which sites try implementing it.
