TagCommons

TagCommons is a place and a process for us to create ways to share and interoperate over tagging data. We believe that the world should have the benefits of rich social tagging across applications, communities, and spaces.

The TagCommons site has been in storage for some time, so please forgive the dust and bits of spammy detritous that has collected. It is made up of this blog for general announcements, position statements, and news; and a set of mailing lists for general communication.
