Since I always try to use tags in my posts that are are somewhat different than my blog platform’s categories, I’m providing supplemental information.) <LI><B>Theme pyramid-based</B>.

Which is - the stronger the consensus around any tag the more broadly it applies. And the less the consensus the more subjective or specific its application. For example 4 different people might describe Bill Gates in 4 different way -</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> <LI>Very rich man </div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> <LI>Extremely wealthy man </div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> <LI>Rather wealthly man </div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> <LI>Incredibly rich man</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> <P>Take the word count for the above, or the <EM>Common Tags</EM> in del.icio.us lingo&nbsp; -</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> <P>4 man<BR>2 wealthy<BR>2 rich<BR>1 incredibly<BR>1 rather<BR>1 extremely<BR>1 very</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> <P>Everyone can&nbsp; agree that Bill's a man! Two people think he's some degree of wealthy. Another two consider him some degree of rich. And each applies a different subjective qualification to that degree. So we can see that the more obviously a description applies to an item the broader the consensus around that description. Its like an inverted funnel with little agreement about the descriptors at the bottom, or the open mouth of the funnel, and a tighter definition emerging as we move towards the top.</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/social+bookmarking/" rel="tag">social bookmarking</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/intelligence/" rel="tag">intelligence</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/semantic/" rel="tag">semantic</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/web+2.0/" rel="tag">web 2.0</a></div>http://eirepreneur.blogs.com/eirepreneur/2006/03/finding_the_col.htmlWed, 24 May 2006 07:20:37 GMT
