Resources for Values | Jeni's Musings
There are two advantages of using a resource here rather than a literal value:You can associate other metadata with the term. You can more accurately and easily associate multiple documents that use the same term.
The URI microformat, OpenURL and COIns, will be very interesting to library application - in "Programming" (Tricks/tips learned in daily programming work)

Home - Common Tag
Common Tag is an open tagging format developed to make content more connected, discoverable and engaging. 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, and enrich their pages with free data, images and widgets.

Deducing Trip Related Information from Flickr | Semantic Web Dog Food
Uploading tourist photos is a popular activity on photo sharing platforms. These photographs and their associated metadata (tags, geo-tags, and temporal information) should be useful for mining information about the sites visited. However, user-supplied metadata are often noisy and efficient filtering methods are needed before extracting useful knowledge. We focus here on exploiting temporal information, associated with tourist sites that appear in Flickr. From automatically filtered sets of geo-tagged photos, we deduce answers to questions like "how long does it take to visit a tourist attraction?" or "what can I visit in one day in this city?" Our method is evaluated and validated by comparing the automatically obtained visit duration times to manual estimations.

Documentation for the Combine (focused) crawling system
The Combine system is an open, free, and highly configurable system for focused crawling of Internet resources. It aims at providing a robust and efficient tool for creating topic-specific moderate sized databases (up to a few million records). Crawling speed is around 200 URLs per minute and a complete structured record takes up an average of 25 kilobytes disk-space.
Evaluation of automated subject classification
It was shown that for best results all the elements have to be included in the classification process. The exact way of combining the significance indicators turned out not to be overly important: using the F1 measure, the best combination of significance indicators yielded no more than 3 % higher performance results than the baseline.
