, 01:42, 22 February 2007→How do our Attributes and Relations stack up?

As Centiare grows, we should probably keep an eye on not just our number of pages, but on the number of our Attributes and Relations -- not to mention how frequently they're being coded into article pages. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 14:52, 21 February 2007 (PST)

:One reason the other SMW sites don't have as many [[Centiare:ACR|ACR]] tags is that they are primarily focused on single topics. Another issue to consider is tag proliferation, even at a limited level, which is characterized by under-utilized ACRs. That is, similar tag names are created in an attempt to provide differentiation in lieu of categories, so the actual usage per tag is low. And yet one more thing is many of the ACRs are red-linked ie there aren't any actual page value assigned to the tags.
:The true test of effective use of tags is topic specificity, commonality (within groupings), category differentiation, and actual page values. It's a sure sign things are out of whack if any of these characteristics appear to be out of balance. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 17:42, 21 February 2007 (PST)
