#13 tagging and Del.icio.us

I found this tagging exercise interesting. Much of it I already have a basic understanding of but this was still a great refresher course. I have already some knowledge of web site design with HTML and I understand the importance of Meta data on the WWW and how these designated fields are what are retrieved when someone completes an internet search. Tagging is a great system that I rely upon every working day with GRLC as I am forever clicking on tags or access points when I am using the Horizon database ie. subject headings, authour fields, series fields etc. I really appreciate the GUI of ther Horizon database that we use and still get shivers up my sping when I remeber the previous Dynix sytem. I have not subscribed to Del.icio.us and do not intend to at the moment, but I know that it is another useful tool that I can use for specific information requests if I need to.
