Tags and the semantic web

I became obsessed with tagging when I lived in the UK, though I have never sprayed my name onto an urban landscape. I was an online editor adding keywords to content, with new taxonomies and member generated folksonomies. Now tag clouds can be found all over the web, and are not just useful for visitors navigating your site. Search engines rely on tags to define and weight the content of pages. One of the most important parts of digital publishing is using the right keywords and tags, as if you don't keyword your content then you probably won't appear on the first page of search results.

MsBehaviour looks at why tagging data is important as the next phase in the development of the Web. Read Tags and the semantic web in full at The Big Idea.
