Following on from the content labels chat I had with Paul Walsh (documented here!!!!) I had some further thoughts about adding semantic content to websites.

I seems to me that a lot could be gained if we added something like the tag concept to the actual element itself, then when linking to other sites I could tag the link with meaning.

This would turn the web into a sort of topic map with the links themselves carrying information beyond just being a pointer.

Just a thought……

  1. I have a better one – let’s get Sarah to wear a content labels t-shirt ;)

  2. Works for me!!!

  3. Would definitely be useful but there’s always going to be people abusing it to generate undue traffic to their page, like misused meta keywords and descriptions before the advent of Google :)

    If the relevance or value of link labels were supported by page content or other ‘content associated labels’ or had some other source of verification, then it would be more difficult for people to misuse the new search criteria.

    …maybe :)
