Ways of adding metadata

Written by James Robertson, published October 9, 2009

Categorised under: Information architecture

Karen Loasby has written a post on ways of adding metadata. To quote:

I was digging around in my files this weekend and found this table I made once of different approaches to applying metadata to content. At first glance the volunteers example looks like it is only relevant to charities but alot of scenarios that refer to users tagging, it is actually volunteers tagging. The difference is doing something for your own benefit (users) or contributing something to a greater cause (volunteers).
