There was a discussion on Flickr that might be pertinent: http://michaelsremarks.blogspot.com/2005/03/basic-guidelines-for-tagging-on-flickr.html http://www.flickr.com/forums/ideas/5458/ But a lot of people would say that a prescriptivist approach to "proper" tagging misses the point of tags, where personal idiosyncrasy rules the day. If you move very far in the direction of structured metadata and controlled vocabulary, they're not "tags" any more. -- Prentiss Riddle ("aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada") [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- A maze of twisty little weblogs all alike. http://aprendizdetodo.com _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
