Ilri tagging guidelines

From ilri-comms ilriwikis

The secret of our re-use of content across the various systems is to tag (or index) each individual item.Principles include:

  • In tags, always enter the name of a country that the object is about (‘ethiopia’ or ‘burkina faso’).
  • Always assign ‘ILRI’ if the object is about ILRI or an activity of ILRI.
  • Assign one or two region or subject categories.
  • In Wordpress blogs, the categories are pre-defined. Other systems ask for tags. Use the guidelines above.CGSpace uses a more detailed approach.
  • Tag outputs by organization units and major initiatives that produce or create an object.

On social media, we use various grouping mechanisms to facilitate re-use, for example, sets on Flickr, playlists on YouTube,groups on SlideShare andcategories on Wordpress blogs.
