Hi Jennifer, A question before I will try tagging the objects of art: What happens when one starts tagging in Dutch or an other foreign language?

Trant Sent: donderdag 12 juli 2007 16:02 To: mcn-l at mcn.edu Subject: [MCN-L] [steve.discuss] second phase of steve tagging experimentdeployed Hi all, we've just deployed the second phase of the steve.museum tagging experiment. at http://tagger.steve.museum the steve tagger (a piece of open-source software) is a key tool in our IMLS-funded study of the contribution social tagging and folksonomy can make to on-line access to art collections. throughout our experiement we'll be varying the interface of the tagger to find out what encourages tagging, and we'll also be studying the results of tags, to see if they are: - real words (we're using word net) - terms from our discipline (we're using the AAT and ULAN) - new to the museum (we're comparing to museum documentation) - appropriate to the work of art (we're doing term-by-term review). we're looking forward to sharing the results of our study with the community. If you'd like to participate, please come by. [it's ok if you don't work in an art museum -- and ok if you do!] Go to http://tagger.steve.museum - create an account [this is important for our research] - Tag Art!
