The steve tagger (a piece of open-source software) is a key tool in the IMLS-funded study of the contribution social tagging and folksonomy can make to on-line access to art collections. Throughout the experiment the tagger interface will vary; the results of tags will also be studied to see if they are:
- real words (by using word net)
- terms from the discipline (by using the AAT and ULAN)
- new to the museum (by comparing to museum documentation)
- appropriate to the work of art (by doing term-by-term review).
The results of the study will be shared with the community. If you’d like to participate, please come by. [it's ok if you don't work in an art museum -- and ok if you do!]
