I'll talk about how "My files are a mess!", and how it will stay this way unless we achieve a collective enlightenment.

Now I finally have an excuse to do the research on the topic XD

@dcz "It has been this way since the days of DOS" Actually, this goes way more back. AFAIR to the 50s.

Local file organization and multi-classification concepts were my PhD topic: https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml

Further ideas lead to my concept with : https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/

Anyone have a good tag for this kind of floating obstacle course and slides etc? I found a handful while reviewing various water skiing features. To keep track of them, I tagged it as leisure=aquapark but definitely don't think that's the optimal tagging.

I did user research on an Agile team for a few years. I tagged ALL observations, not just those about any sprint's key questions.

As the product team evolved its focus, I was able to slice and dice my data to answer questions we hadn't yet formally asked.

Each time, I could leapfrog the first study into informed follow-up studies.

In the long run, extra Time Tagging = Time Saved when starting a new product direction.

@FiveSketches@mastodon.social avatar

I tagged research data over multiple years.

There was an unintended outcome of tagging ALL observations from every Agile sprint—rather than only tagging observations that related to the current sprint's research focus…

As time passed, some of the qualitative data became quantitative as the sample size grew.

Absolutely triumphant Los Angeles taggers cover abandoned high rise!

Also, why are 27 stories of abandoned condos vacant in downtown Los Angeles while homeless people are dying on the sidewalk below?

“With all due respect, shit’s abandoned, doing nothing. Let’s put some color on this bitch and do what we do if they ain’t gon finish the job,” one ... tagger, Hopes, said.

It comes with a set of (Python-)tools that provide great assistance for adding and managing tags, date-stamps, time-stamps, ...

There's a demo as well: https://karl-voit.at/demo-filetags-intro/

I'm using it on a daily basis & I've got great feedback by other people using it as well.

Does anyone have a non-cloud method of tagging and managing their photos? 📸🚫☁

floty, to random

Bet you've heard this before but I'm throwing it out there again anyway;

I know xbirbsite has taught you that using tags in your posts is bad and reduces your reach and such. Non of that happens here as no such algorithms exist. (That site long ago ruined it's tag system. Yes, there was a time tagging your stuff there actually was beneficial.)

Here your works will be found easier using tags as search relies on them pretty heavily. Also they are clickable giving you a list of posts with the same tag. Heck, a tag can even be followed. So shake off the fear to tag things and go wild.~

Trying to figure out how to use hashtags productively. Especially when taking notes in Obsidian, I often don’t know whether to link a term to its own note, turn it into a hashtag, or both.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata) reads: “(...) Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, (...) may also be chosen from a controlled vocabulary. (...)”

Just had a thought about hashtags on mastodon, so I decided to write it up as a feature suggestion. I look forward to reading your input on it too!

Tip of the day: Sometimes we use several names for the same thing, like nicknames, acronyms and so on. In you can use such aliases for documents and other objects, for example tags. Here we show you how that works and what you can do with them. https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230425-aliases

Tip of the day: Many people use tags as a way to add some context to their documents. We have blogged on the subject more than once, but one option some people may not be aware of is nested (or hierarchical) tags. These are tags with child tags, or related tags within tags. Here’s how you can make and use them in . https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220809-nested-tags
