A TagCombination is an unordered list of tags (keywords):
- separated by delimiters, such as white space, commata, plus-signs
- being an argument for a tagging service (such as e.g. DiigoService or Google:Google)
This informal definition could be made exact as the program specification for a program that takes a list of tags as input and produces a set of URLs, that are previously "tagged", i.e. marked with one or more word-marks by users. Any permutation of the tags produces exactly the same result.
Example: On the bottom of this page you find the TagCombination:"wiki+annotation+tag+tags+TagCombinations+TagCombination" The output of it is accessible via http://diigo.com/tag/wiki+annotation+tag+tags+TagCombinations+TagCombination
Benefits:
TagCombinations organize Web-, especially Wiki Pages, without great effort:
- no separate extension of the different wiki-engines is necessary
- the mono topic oriented Category System in wikis can be easily imbedded
- allow AccidentalLinking and AccidentalCollaborating in the set of all wikis (, who use Diigo type Tagging).
- support universal WikiWeaving and WebWeaving
Note:
- Using the social annotation service DiiGo, out-of-the-box tagging can be realized for all wikis in the world, now 2006-12-07.
Discussion:
- I've started making distinct notes about WikiWeaving and WebWeaving since I agree with the value of ...Weaving existing pages together in order to achieve Wiki:OnceAndOnlyOnce. I am finding that DiigoService solutions also help in these undertakings, as do TransClusion methods that are especially nicely implemented in the Oddmuse software. -- HansWobbe
- This page should describe what a TagCombination is or it should be refactored into DiigoService. -- SunirShah
- Yes Sunir, agreed. So I made a first try ;-) -- FridemarPache
- I prefer to retain this page as a focus on TagCombination(s), as opposed to DiigoService, especially since I fnd myself gravitating towards using DelIcioUs as opposed to Diigo for tagging. -- HansWobbe
- Does Google know the TagCombination URLs of Diigo (see page bottom)?
