"Tagging: People-powered Metadata for the Social Web"


You??™ll find more practical applications here than philosophical implications.
Ultimately, this book exists to help you understand tagging and design tagging systems
that work for you and your users. Whether you??™re a Web designer, developer,
information architect, user experience developer, or product manager, you??™ll find
useful concepts and examples in this book. Of course, the book focuses on tagging,
but I hope you??™ll also find the discussions of information architecture, social software,
and interface design enlightening and valuable.
Each chapter covers a different aspect of tagging??”starting from the most general topics
and moving to more specific ones:
Chapter 1 introduces tagging, outlines the three-part model of tagging systems
we??™ll use throughout the book, and explains why tagging matters.
Chapter 2 looks at the value of tagging: the return on experience people get from tagging
and the return on investment you can expect when building your tagging system.
