It's a Tag, Tag, Tag, Tag World
"The right to, and manner of, determining,
declaring, and sharing information
about the 'aboutness' of all types of
digital objects appear to be undergoing
a fundamental transformation. It's
difficult to tell if a renaissance of controlled-subject vocabularies, tagging, and
subject cataloging is in the offing, or if
the recent developments signal the death
knell of the methods of determining the
aboutness of an information object that
we all learned in library school. Tagging,
in particular, and the social Web, in general,
could
have a major impact on how digital libraries evolve."
