Look into AI systems from the 1960's and you will find Semantic Networks. If you just need categories you can go with taxonomies and folksonomies. If you want to (over?) formalize and describe mainly non-agentive structure you look at ontologies.

#22I am too but I've given up. I've collected a lot data over the years and spent a lot of time trying to organize it so I can find relevant connections. It's just too time consuming. I've decided discerning relationships in unstructured data is where I want to focus.

#23I’ve written a tagging system from scratch for an existing system and it was one of the most interesting things I’ve worked out. I had total control over how it was implemented and I think I came up with a really nice, minimalist, scalable way to tag things, and to search them.

#25The hierarchical nature of the information he's talking about really reminds me of the ontologies and terminologies that are used in healthcare to organize medical information. E.g. Ibuprofen 10mg Tab This is a field that I'm only tertiary familiar with but it's a fascinating discipline trying to group, and manage all of the different categories of healthcare data. You can use the RxNav tool to look at the RxNorm terminology which is only 1 of many terminology systems.

#27> I can't find anything on how to design and implement anymore more than the barebones basics of a system. All of this stuff (horse/horses etc) is extensively discussed, maybe look under "taxonomy" or "ontology". Now, whether you want to use any of those solutions or not or find the discussion useful or not... if you aren't finding anything about it at all, you aren't looking in the right places. (I learned about it…
Can you link some resources about it then?

#28I can't wait for the author of this thread to discover the AO3 tagging system, which is, frankly, a masterpiece that demonstrates how effective community management can lead to extremely good tagging and categorization, with very little miscategorization. https://www.wired.com/story/archive-of-our-own-fans-better-t... https://archiveofourown.org/faq/tags
A taxonomy or hierarchical system sometimes also helps, eg. on E621: https://e621.net/wiki_pages/23556 (NSFW if you scroll at all or click anything).

The AO3 tagging system badly needs pruning. I hesitate to make examples, as the specificity will serve as a "call out," but quite a lot of authors throw in single-use, digressive tags as some kind of commentary on their own work. Huge meandering swaths of crap tags, and the people who make them ought to have their permissions to create tags revoked.
I kind of disagree with this. Tags are dual use in AO3, specifically they serve as a way to find specific stories with specific thematic or plot elements, but they additionally serve as a free expression of the author because its the author who chooses which if any tags they want to use to describe their piece. When an author gets to decide the categories of a work, the categorization also becomes an expression.
Consider the flavor of "Dead Dove: Do Not Eat" tag, which serves both as an author's expression of warning the reader and also a category of fanfic that is expected to have transgressive elements. Just tagging, idk, "child endangerment" completely misses the point of "Dead Dove: Do Not Eat" comparatively.

#30Anyone have a suggestion for a tagging filesystem that is maintained? Or if not a filesystem, something that at least works? I still feel like this is the best way to organize personal photos and media, and while https://www.tagsistant.net/ is pretty good it hasn't been updated in 6 years and is fairly buggy.
I haven't tried it yet but https://tmsu.org/ is actively maintained and looks nice.
