Tagging and the Semantic Web - John Clarke Mills' Blog
Description
What if you could tag an object with another object. Instead of tagging objects with strings, which falls back on a full-text search, you could tag something with an actual representation?

      I recently found that Radar Networks employees are allowed to blog about our projects from an architecture and implementation point of view. That being said, here's my first post on the issue. There will be a lot more to come.

      John: Enjoyed the interesting ideas on the language of tags. All is object. Tags can join them in groups, differentiate them, or exclude them. In this case, "semantic web" is a tag and it is "cool", an adjective tag. Tags can be verbs. Applying tags to other tags is useful. We are reminded of taggers by the labels that they have used to describe other things. The meaning is in the relationships. Thanks.

      What about the link tag and the rel attribute?

      In terms of linking objects in the Semantic Web, yes. We are creating relationships between objects, rather than object properties. What that means is, when we tag something with a string it is essentially an attribute rather than linking an object to other saying that one object is an attribute of another. Is this what you were referring to?

      Wouldn't that be the same as data linking? Some easy way to link any kind of data together to tell the browser that they are related should be created if it doesn't already exist.
