It may be worth looking at the recent changes istockphoto has made
wrt. localizing tags [as part of a bigger localization effort]
before getting too deep into this conversation on one side of the
other. I've only caught a wiff of it for mentions of transition
problems, but it sounds like an interesting *and* real world/live
example of wrestling with the issue of translations and or similes
in tagging.
Yes indeed.
Do you know a bit more of what they did? Or at least what were the
issues?
I wish that tagging systems had (on the backend side) ways to deal with
- associating meaning on user choices (your own private taxonomy)
- associating meaning with a bigger classification (attach a tag to
an already existing taxonomy, ex: geo stuff)
- associating two tags giving them equivalences on user choices
SKOS with label being the tags

It's all about giving users the choice to use well defined taxonomy
AND to build his/her own if needed.
