(Most people
probably fall into this latter group, a point we??™ll discuss in just a moment.)
Editing and Deleting Tags
When it comes to managing their tags, the most basic tasks users will need to perform
are editing and deleting tags.
This could mean anything from fixing a misspelled name to removing tags that have
become inaccurate (for example, you might want to remove the ???toread??? tag after
you??™ve gotten around to reading that document).
The simplest form of tag editing can be called re-tagging. In Del.icio.us, users edit the
tags they applied to a bookmark by simply re-tagging the item. Flickr users can also
delete a tag and then re-tag the photo.
Batch Editing and Splitting
This works well when you??™re editing a single resource, but what about changing multiple
resources or tags at once? People usually accumulate so many bookmarks or
photos that editing tags one by one would be tedious, if not impossible.
A tagging system doesn??™t need to be very large before it makes sense to offer editing
and deleting for groups of tags together.
