Stealing from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rckSVmYCH90][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.
