Hinweis der Redaktion
Zu Punkt 3): In some cases, taggers are allowed to view the full content of a given resource, and then to assign, directly to that resource, tags that describe it; in others, taggers are allowed merely to view the record describing a given resource, and then to enhance that record by adding to it tags that further describe the resource.
Zu Punkt 3): For instance, are tags searched when users do “keyword” searches of the OPAC? Is it possible to search or browse tags from within the OPAC?
Zu Punkt 2): (i) by enhancing the quality of existing records, and/or (ii) by allowing users to discover resources in a new way, viz. by taking account of the recommendations of other users like themselves; Zu Punkt 3): by offering users the opportunity to bookmark resources that they like and that they predict they will wish to access again;
Zu Punkt 2): (i) by enhancing the quality of existing records, and/or (ii) by recommending resources that are determined to be of potential interest to others
