KM Reference Group Meeting - July 10- PowerPoint Slides
The document discusses how tagging content today can increase access to that content tomorrow. It argues that tagging at the point of content creation is the least expensive way to organize information and connect knowledge assets, people, and experts. Various types of tags are described, from private to social to automatic. Tagging empower contributors and personalizes access by allowing users to find and apply relevant content. Challenges to adopting and maintaining tagging practices are also addressed.
