that paper is really interesting and opens up a lot of questions . . . .
we're looking at opening up access to the backend of our tag data and search data shortly - well in the coming months. i'm making a pretty strong case with our collection to be integrating search terms with tags based on how we've seens both tags and searches being used - we have the benefit of richer and often descriptive collection records with our material vs that in art museums.
it would be interesting to build a mash up application that compared steve tag data with data from our opac2.0.
we've started displaying search term data publically now in a limited way but feasibly we could make the database available via an API to other museums with similar collections
