Semantic Tagging, an extension to a Group's Thesaurus

Semantic Tagging, an extension to a Group's Thesaurus

Interesting look as to how Haiko Hebig is playing with the idea of "facets" on tags.

A facet is linked to the term in the tag, to give context or a sense of perspective to the tag.

For instance, take the tag-word "fish". As it is interpreted by different perspectives, it can mean different things (and necessarily has different semantic lineage). If you mean "fish" as an animal, that is one view. If you mean "fish" as a food, then that is another. If you mean "fish" as a verb, then that is something totally different.
