• Improving SLAINTE. Focusing on needs of
community.
- Different ways of delivering content
- Encourages communication, participation &
collaboration
- Enhances our resources
- Slide 6: Tagging: Key features
• User generated keywords
• No controlled vocabulary
• Non-hierarchical
• Folksonomy
• No limit to number of tags
• Supporting fields
- Slide 7: The great tagging debate: part I
• Enables “pseudo-faceted classification”
(Speller, 2007)
• Creates a bottom-up consensus view
(Shirky, 2005)
• Adaptable to changing vocabularies
(Mathes, 2004)
• Facilitates serendipitous browsing
(Mathes, 2004)
• Combination approach
(Pattern, 2007)
• Evidence of tag consensus being reached
(Golder & Huberman, 2005)
- Slide 8: The great tagging debate: part II
• Synonyms and homonyms
(Mathes, 2004)
• Ambiguity of uncontrolled vocabulary
(Mathes, 2004)
• Specificity and the level of expertise
(Golder & Huberman, 2005)
• Longevity of tags
(Smith, 2005)
• Spaces and multiple words
(Mathes, 2004)

(Mathes, 2004)
- Slide 9: Tag chaos
- Slide 10: The source
- Slide 11: Tagging: flickr libraries group
- Slide 12: Tagging: Library of Congress
approach
• Flickr pilot commenced Jun 2007 – live
Jan 2008
• Two LoC photo collections added
• Dublin Core records included
• Tags applied by users – except “Library of
Congress” tag
• LoC flickr record
- Slide 13: A delicate balance
• Scalability - high cost of applying LoC
approach
• Cognitive issues - unlikely that users will
tag to standards
• Perception shift – not tagging versus
cataloguing
- Slide 14: Scottish libraries tag guidelines
- Slide 15: The finished product: flickr
- Slide 16: The finished product: delicious
- Slide 17: Future developments
• Continuous development of tagging
guidelines
• Building on existing content
• Work in progress: pod/webcasting,
Facebook, live chat and surveys
• Overcoming legal barriers
• Integration with SLAINTE
