Common Tag encourages publishers to publich content that is tagged with concepts, not just words (hence semantic tagging). In other words, we would like to encourage site owners to tag with URIs of concepts, so that an agent can not only know that a page is about "jaguar" but that after dereferencing the URI, it can retrieve relevant information, e.g. that jaguars are animals as used here, that thus jaguars are related to wild cats (and thus other documents about wild cats) etc. And I might have forgotten possibly the most important point.

Search et al, Common Tag as described appears to be a reinvention of the rel-tag microformat, albeit with a much bulkier/uglier syntax. http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag On the CommonTag site it says: "Unlike free-text tags, Common Tags are references to unique, well-defined concepts, complete with metadata and their own URLs. With Common Tag, site owners can more easily create topic hubs, cross-promote their content..." rel-tag is also URL based and thus goes beyond simple free-text tags and provides references to unique well-defined concepts, complete with metadata and their own URLs. rel-tag also enables site owners to more easily/explicitly create topic hubs, cross-promote their content etc. Numerous popular blogging systems (Wordpress, Movable Type, etc.) already implement rel-tag accordingly, and have done so for about 4 years now. In fact your very own press release for "Common Tag" uses rel-tag! http://www.prweb.com/releases/CommonTag/2009/prweb2522914.htm view the source and you will see plenty of rel-tags like: ... <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/semantic+tagging" rel="tag" target="tagwin">semantic tagging</a> <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/tagging" rel="tag" target="tagwin">tagging</a> ... Why the reinvention with a more complicated harder to use format when there is already a semantic tagging format that works well and is widely deployed and supported? Dear Yahoo! Search et al,

Common Tag as described appears to be a reinvention of the rel-tag microformat, albeit with a much bulkier/uglier syntax.

http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag

On the CommonTag site it says:

“Unlike free-text tags, Common Tags are references to unique, well-defined concepts, complete with metadata and their own URLs. With Common Tag, site owners can more easily create topic hubs, cross-promote their content…”

rel-tag is also URL based and thus goes beyond simple free-text tags and provides references to unique well-defined concepts, complete with metadata and their own URLs.

rel-tag also enables site owners to more easily/explicitly create topic hubs, cross-promote their content etc. Numerous popular blogging systems (Wordpress, Movable Type, etc.) already implement rel-tag accordingly, and have done so for about 4 years now.

In fact your very own press release for “Common Tag” uses rel-tag!

http://www.prweb.com/releases/CommonTag/2009/prweb2522914.htm

view the source and you will see plenty of rel-tags like:

…
<a href=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/semantic+tagging” rel=”tag” target=”tagwin”>semantic tagging</a>
<a href=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/tagging” rel=”tag” target=”tagwin”>tagging</a>
…

Why the reinvention with a more complicated harder to use format when there is already a semantic tagging format that works well and is widely deployed and supported?
