Problem summary

The user wants to find more data in the same category and/or contribute data in the same category

Example

Usage

• Use when the content on your website is possibly mapped into multiple categories and does not necessarily only fit into one hierarchical category.
• Use when you want users to contribute data to your website and let them organize their contributed data themselves.

Solution

Let the contributers of information on your website add keywords (tags) to the content they submit. These keywords are then transformed into links that leads to tag pages; listing all other contributions for that tag (category).

Rationale

Tags are relevant keywords associated with or assigned to a piece of information. Tags are often used on social websites, where users can upload their own content. Here, tags are used to let users organize and categorize their own data in the public sphere. In this way, tags can be seen as a bottom-up categorization of data rather than a top-down categorization of data, where the creators of the site define the hierarchy data is submitted to.

• 

  Tags added to a blog post.

• 

  When adding tags at flickr, you can choose from tags you gave other pictures (grayed out) or type new. Upon submission, each tag is shown above the input field in a vertical list. They can each be easily removed separately.

• 

  When adding tags to a video at Vimeo, tags are separated by commas, and each tag are upon submission added to a horizontal line below the input field. Each tag can easily be removed separately.

  “Tags are relevant keywords associated with or assigned to a piece of information.” The problem is, who chooses when a certain tag ís indeed relevant and when it isn’t. Using the tag “css” for every article that has the word css in it might just result in 300 articles with the same tag attached to it. But if we only take those articles that are specifically about css, we might get a nice small list, containing for css articles, but not the one I was looking for. A Google like search system, based on clicks for example, and a well chosen list of “relevant articles”, maybe supported by “other people who liked this article also liked this and that”, will do the job better. I don’t like tags.

  United Kingdom : ADTRAN Delivers Radical VoIP Migration Platform (India)]Al Bawaba Ltd.ADTRAN, Inc., a leading provider of cloud connectivity, virtual mobility and enterprise communications solutions, today announced a revolutionary voice migration platform that answers market demand for multiple-voice deployment on an efficient single-solution platform. Designed for service providers and enterprises, the NetVanta 7000 family has a new software configuration that enables deployment of premise-based PBX functions or cloud-based and hosted VoIP services all with a single hardware platform. The all-in-one design for voice, data, video, and wireless services creates business efficiency and capabilities that today s businesses need to remain competitive.Historically, voice deployments demanded purpose-built platforms to act as either a PBX or a gateway for cloud-based and hosted services. With the NetVanta 7100, this has changed. Now, service providers who previously deployed hosted VoIP solutions can offer alternate deployment scenarios. Those deploying premise-based PBX solutions now have the option to provide a platform that has a migration path to hosted services. By taking this approach, the service providers protect their existing investment in technology and resource support. In addition, for either hosted or premise based solutions, local survivability is supported. This provides the end users additional peace of mind when next generation communication technologies are deployed.Given the rapid rise of hosted and cloud-based voice service applications, as an alternative to premises-based PBX, a single hardware platform to address both introduces a new level of efficiency in scale and management to the market, said Rob Arnold, program manager, Unified Communications and Collaboration at Frost Sullivan. With the new NetVanta 7000 series voice migration capability, ADTRAN is enabling their channels to easily address end-user s needs to migrate from one type of service to another as their business demands.While the NetVanta 7000 series enables end-users with the ability to select different communication services and preserve network infrastructure IP phones, switches, gateways, wireless access points it also provides multiple benefits to service providers and the reseller channels that support these customers. Benefits for the channel include: Lower inventory carrying costs With a single SKU for either premises PBX or hosted VoIP UC, resellers are able to carry less inventory and reduce costs. Competitive differentiation – Channel partners focusing on pure play cloud-based and hosted or premises based UC can now offer a migratory platform which supports both types of deployments. Reduced training cost With the same equipment utilised for both premises and hosted scenarios, both sales employees and end users are able to undergo one training session for the equipment regardless of the scenario.
