On shoulders

April 21st, 2006

Just reading Thomas Vander Wal’s “Broad and Narrow Folksonomies” it occured to me that a decent way to implement tagging behind firewalls is to provide simple flat tagging that gets its controlled vocabulary from public aggregator services like delicious, connotea or from some kind of established topicmaps. This way applying tags stays easy while retrieval is structured.Very early in the game.
