Public Sticky notes
Tags are keywords you can use to describe and organize your document collections, for
example photos, videos or bookmarks. Lots of Web platforms use tags for this purpose, most
well-known are Flickr, YouTube and del.icio.us. tagCare lets you to maintain all your tags jointly in one place, which is especially useful if you normally use several of these different platforms.
Many users apply a variety of different tags within different platforms - and finally get lost
among them. For example, it is hard to keep track of consistent spelling variants (e.g. not
using "science_fiction" in one case and "scienceFiction" in the other) or of preferred terms
(e.g. not using "bike" in one case and "bicycle" in the other). Some documents may be tagged
with the general term "dog", others more specifically with "greyhound" or "border_collie".
tagCare will help you to apply some structure to your tagging vocabulary so that you will
more easily navigate through vocabulary choices and use tags more consistently. In tagCare, a
user can assemble all tags which he has used within different systems and may then create his
own vocabulary hierarchy, synonym collections and cross-references to related terms to
establish some lightweight form of controlled vocabulary.
