Sweeper : Automatically tag your music collection with metadata from Last.fm

by sbrothier & 1 other (via)
A while back Last.fm released a command line tool to retrieve metadata for an arbitrary mp3 from their new fingerprint database. I tried it yesterday and it seemed way better than MusicBrainz. So, as a person with a lot of random mp3s, I cooked up a script for retagging entire folders of songs.

Last.fm Tagger

by sbrothier
So, I'm trying my hand at Cocoa, namely RubyCocoa. Objective-C is a bit out of my grasp right now. If I start needing big performance boosts, I'll go that route. In the meantime, writing RubyCocoa apps is insanely fun. I wrote this basic tagger in 2 days (roughly 6 hours) and it works pretty well! If you plan on trying out this app, create a small playlist with the name 'lastfmtagger' and put a few albums in there.

visualcomplexity.com | Typographic Links

by sbrothier
This is a stunningly fresh and appealing approach to physical tagging, folksonomy or maps of relatedness. Typographic Links is a collectable hand-sewn publication, which maps interesting links and connections through the world of typography. The aim was to create a book and accompanying poster that took a light-hearted look at typographic practice. Thread is used to create three-dimensional hyperlinks that guide the reader through the pages of the book.

Ontology of Folksonomy

by fredbird & 6 others (via)
Ontologies are enabling technology for the Semantic Web. They are a means for people to state what they mean by formal terms used in data that they might generate or consume. Folksonomies are an emergent phenomenon of the social web. They are created as people associate terms with content that they generate or consume. Recently the two ideas have been put into opposition, as if they were right and left poles of a political spectrum. This piece is an attempt to shed some cool light on the subject, and to preview some new work that applies the two ideas together to enable an Internet ecology for folksonomies

adaptive path » tagging vs. cataloging: what it's all about

by nhoizey & 1 other
Tags have taken the internet by storm. Where once the question was “what are they,” now all people want to know is whether a given site offers them. But what are the actual benefits of tags? What motivates millions of Flickr, del.icio.us and blog users to add tags to their photos and posts? And what is it about tags and tagging that gets information architects and user experience professionals so excited?

An alternative Approach to Tagging - ThinkPHP /dev/blog

by tehu & 7 others
A method that combines the flexibility of tagging with the search-narrowing power of a deep hierarchy is to combine the tags to an 'instant hierarchy':

Powerhouse Museum Collection

by ycc2106
Social search + tag gadgaets and hous supplies. This folksonomy is being tested to learn how the general public and museum users might help classify objects for each other - without the rigid structures of traditional museological taxonomies.

Tags - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

by springnet & 1 other
Although "tagging" is often promented as an alternative to organization by a hierarchy of categories, more and more online resources seem to use a hybrid system, where items are organized into broad categories, with finer classification distinctions being
