Trawling With Engines Of Meaning
Bruce Sterling on Tags:"Ultimately no human brain, no planet full of human brains, can possibly catalog the dark, expanding ocean of data we spew. In a future of information auto-organized by folksonomy, we may not even have words for the kinds of sorting that will be going on; like mathematical proofs with 30,000 steps, they may be beyond comprehension. But they'll enable searches that are vast and eerily powerful. We won't be surfing with search engines any more. We'll be trawling with engines of meaning." [tags: Social Architecture, Bruce Sterling]

Some fast thoughts about this:
1. Meaning comes from relationship between concepts.
2. You could introduce some related terms/tags as minimum DIGITAL POINTS COINCIDENCE to set a valid result for your search.
3. Want it or not, it could be good to establish (by voting/agreement) a database where you can standardize your tags (for example, socialSoft, social-software becomes a standardized tag as "socialsoftware") OR PROVIDE A FEEDBACK to the database that your beloved tag socialSoft is standardized as "socialsoftware", but you like it your own way.
