Tagging Matters explores the writerly work of tagging in relation to ideas behind the Semantic Web. Active Archives started on the principle of "we are no islands", looking for ways of linking on-line resources with respect for specific data practices. Open Data, Linked Data and Resource Description Frameworks (RDF) promise the linkage of dispersed data without the need for centralization. Yet popular Semantic Web projects such as Freebase and DBpedia suggest a need for centralized linked data repositories. This workshop looks for a means of protecting "private" writing spaces that allow locality and difference to be preserved while still providing a means of making connections between institutions and individuals.

The worksession is a mix of collaborative exercises, informal presentations and prototyping sessions.

Organised in the context of Archipel.
