"(...) tagging system is not "controlled" in this sense (...), but I'm wondering whether its web-scale nature can provide some benefit that one would not expect."
"They are built to be human-usable (...) are targeted primarily for storage/retrieval of personal information and serendipitous discovery of group information . (...) The development communities for each are abuzz with ideas for exploiting the structure"
"by letting users tag (...), we're (building) systems that, like the Web itself, do a better job of letting individuals create value for one another, often without realizing it."
Tag Systems "are supremely responsive to user needs and vocabularies (...). (T)ransforming the creation of explicit metadata for resources from an isolated, professional activity into a shared, communicative activity by users is an important development"
Advantages and drawbacks of data organisation in hierarchies, facets and with tags. Problems with finding the needed data without exact knowledge about it.
