CiteULike is a free service to help academics to share, store, and organise the academic papers they are reading. When you see a paper on the web that interests you, you can click one button and have it added to your personal library. CiteULike automatically extracts the citation details, so there’s no need to type them in yourself. It all works from within your web browser. There’s no need to install any special software.
Better still, it organizes everything with tags, very cool!
What if we could tag not just photos, but also other tags? We could start to build a tagweb. When a tagweb is created from your tags, that tagweb works perfectly within the realm of what makes sense to you. The reason nobody came up with this before Flickr was because we didn’t have Flickr as a visible reference point. You can’t just imagine something out of the blue without first thinking about related things.
* A tagweb is a network of ideas that can be graphed on a computer or on paper.
* A tagweb is not built deliberately; it emerges naturally as users contribute to a system.
* A tagweb requires no external information.
* A tagweb emulates its creator’s brain.
* As a tagweb grows, it becomes more useful.
* A tagweb does not “understand” its contents; rather, it understands the relationships of its contents.
I need to think about how this relates to what Tim Berners-Lee is doing with the Semantic Web.
