Proper meta tagging will allow our content to be
neatly organised and
easy to search. Proper meta tagging implies neat categories, which may
be crossed by other neat categories. Internet is a huge mess of data,
most of them are very poorly referenced. We'll become a serious
reference if our content is cleanly tagged, hence searchable with
complex queries.
Very well stated.
[[list of museums in Australia with a chinese flag
hanging above the
entrance door]] is of no use.
Search "[[museum]]" where "[[country]]
is 'australia'" and "[[topic]] is
'China'" is useful.
To be useful, meta-tags must be large rather than very
specific. Query
gives the specificity.
My intuition as well. Since we also have full-text searching, one can easily search for
"museum" "Australia" "chinese flag" or any such narrow
target.
