A good tagging system for files for reducing information overload

Stealing from this talk, the best (personal) practice for tagging include the following.

  • Limiting the vocabulary into a set number. The author recommends to limit it to 100 but lesser is better.
  • Tags should always be in plural.
  • Keep tags general (e.g., sports instead of bowling, basketball, or volleyball).
  • No tags should be derived from file extensions (e.g., photographs, books, documents).

In my case, this is not enough since we want tags for specific things.

  • Any topic-specific should be appended as a subtag (e.g., sports.bowling, sports.basketball, sports.volleyball). If a subtag are established enough, then you may classify it as a general tag.
