2. What are Tags?
Tags are words that mean something
Sometimes called labels, categories,
or keywords
Things that are tagged can have many
tags
i.e. not like folders, where only one
copy resides

3. Folksonomy
Tags are personal; a “folksonomy”
not “taxonomy”
A folksonomy is the practice of
organizing information using
spontaneous, collaboratively
generated, open-ended labels to
annotate or categorize content

4. Tagging Best Practices
Tag ideas, concepts and events
Use nouns if possible
The best tags are narrow and specific
apple is too broad, mac better,
mac osx best
Give preference to singular base
Limit abbreviations
Consider modifying bookmark title:
article title « source
Take full advantage of notes:
[comment] “quote from webpage”

5. Multi-Word Tags
In most cases tag separately if each
word use in a future topic search
significant: lamp shade
not significant: san francisco
You never are going to search for “san”
Multi-word tags are typically
compacted
sanfrancisco, christopherallen
Proper words often camel-cased
SanFrancisco, ChristopherAllen

6. Tagging Best Practices
Be consistent
Think of what words others may use
Periodically review and update your
tags
When you successfully find a
bookmark from the past, add a new
tag

not other webpages. Don’t use ‘bgi’.
Use ‘bgimgt’ for any course related

Use ‘mywriting’, ‘myprofile’ for your own
work
