Tags as Far as the Eye Can See: New York Times to Publish Index as Linked Data - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
"There are two types of tagging that go on at the times... Every day, indexers take the paper and go article by article and associate each article with subject keywords. Then they manually summarize it. It's like a Google list, but in dead tree form. Another type of tagging we do is... when an article goes from the newsroom to the web, it's put there by a producer who will augment the article with any number of rich features like images, multimedia... and subject keywords. Unlike the indexers, who do this completely by hand, the producers are assisted in their tagging by an automated classification system which suggests tags to be applied to the data and which are ultimately approved by the producer." - × × ×
