Comment Tags for wikis (Score 1) 183
Over the last few weeks I've implemented tagging for Trac (the wiki side of things for now). Here's a relevant blog entry: http://muness.blogspot.com/2005/01/tags-for-trac.h tml .
In wikis, tags can be "linked to the wiki entry of the same name, allowing you to describe them explicitly under the wiki entry of the same name. This allows for a flexible means for establishing the context of wiki entries." This makes them a lot more expressive than in del.icio.us or flickr.
Also, querying tags is weak right now. Full set operations should be supported. Also, most tag systems seem to ignore hierarchies. There's no reason for that.
