Automatic metadata is an interesting feature mentioned: Users of Connotea say how easy it is to post and tag an article as they are looking at it on, say, Pubmed. And once a user clicks in their browser to send an article to Connotea, the software looks up the various metadata for the article, such as authors, journal volume and page numbers, and adds these to the entry. A posting client could do the same for posting to del.icio.us if the site provides the information. Rather than automting it, the poster-thing could list the tags similarly to how this is done already. Since client provided tags will be noisy, they shouldn't clutter the top of the tag candidates.* Hmm, seems obvious. Have I missed any threads on this? * (speaking of which -- when I post using the posting page directly, some tags are highlighted. Why aren't they listed first in the cloud?) -- sheila _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
