I just reply to an e-mail from Toby on the topic on the commontag ml.
Since the archives are not yet public, let-me repost my point about the
mappings here.
"A Tag in common tag is a tag a seen in Newman's ontology.
My understanding of Newman's ontology is that the URI tag:cheese (for
example) represent every occurence of the string "cheese" used as a tag.
This cannot work with common tag, since "cheese" can be used:
- on resource R1 at date D1 as an AuthorTag
- on resource R2 at date D2 as a ReaderTag
This practically forces us to define two distinct Tag resources, both
with the label "cheese", but with different types and taggingDate.
Of course, nothing prevents us from using the same resource, but in that
case, we would not know anymore which date and which tag type correspond
to which resource...
So the design of Common Tag implies that Tag resources should not be
"reused" across different tagging actions, which IMHO makes them quite
different from Newman's Tags (and close to Tagging, in fact).
