useful imprecision

Sig con­ti­nues to argue the case for buil­ding tags “imprecisely”:

Accept impre­ci­sion as a given fact of life, focus on how to make the impre­ci­sion use­ful.
Go iffy and volu­mi­nous on the “crea­tion” side, let iffy-tags-interception deli­ver the pre­cise results and full know­ledge on the “see­ker” side. Avoid costly trai­ning. Avoid miss­pent time on stan­dards dis­cus­sions. Let unders­tan­ding be an easier task.
Let free-tagging plus iffy-tags-interception free crea­ti­vity, right brains and spontaneity.

So I’m gues­sing if you want your tag to be adap­ted by others, it beho­ves you to make tags that are easy for others to adapt. Digi­tal Dar­wi­nism, Baby.
I’m still wai­ting for Hamish to blog about this.

    Hamish — I think Sig and I both sym­pathise — we’re using up all our elo­quence on Hugh’s blog, and there’s nothing left for our own!
