   None No current Talk conversations about this book. very helpful, specialized book that help me think through design of a tagging system for my content management system. (  ) robkall | Jan 3, 2019 |  A broad and useful introduction to tagging and how to design for it. Smith covers the field from top down, starting with the general concept of user-contributed metadata on the web and how it relates to centrally produced classification systems. He covers conditions for sensible deployment of tagging, user-experience issues, interface design and even the basics of implementing tagging systems. All in all, I think the book is a great introduction to what interaction designers need to know about tagging when they move into designing collaborative media. jonas.lowgren | Aug 9, 2011 | The book is focused on how to build a tagging system - design choices as well as implementation details. If you're designing a tagging system for a web site, this is probably a good book for you. I was hoping for a more information theory-centric perspective, so I mostly skimmed through this book. (  ) treak | Feb 14, 2009 | Clear and comprehensive. ( ) DonnaCo | Oct 19, 2008 | I loved the straight forward way in which this book both talks about and illustrates on the topic of tagging ( ) grantventer | Oct 5, 2008 | no reviews | add a review

Tagging is fast becoming one of the primary ways people organize and manage digital information. Tagging complements traditional organizational tools like folders and search on users desktops as well as on the web. These developments mean that tagging has broad implications for information management, information architecture and interface design. And its reach extends beyond these technical domains to our culture at large. We can imagine, for example, the scrapbookers of the future curating their digital photos, emails, ticket stubs and other mementos with tags. This book explains the value of tagging, explores why people tag, how tagging works and when it can be used to improve the user experience. It exposes tagging's superficial simplicity to reveal interesting issues related to usability, information architecture, online community and collective intelligence. No library descriptions found. |
