Today, some time amidst of it, I noticed that MOM could provide service already with only the reorganization functionality in place: Based on popular tagging, MOM [actually, its reorganizer] could reveal topics different sources (e.g. flickr photos or blog entries) deal with, unrecognizedly so far. -- The background:Problem:
I've got lots of papers which are tagged. They deal with several different topics, on and off over time. There might be far later papers dealing with similar topics like any far earlier ones. -- Using the tags alone, doing that task intellectually, I might have a rather hard time: There are too many distinct tags to keep track of.
Approach for solution:
Reorganization could be applied: It might detect clouds of tags that belong together and 'mark' them by pooling them to separate new -- but yet unnamed -- 'tags' (= MOM nodes). That new tag, then, points to every paper the topic the tag represents deals with. -- That reduces the workload to be performed intellectually to find appropriate names for the newly created, first unnamed, tags. And, of course, to tag all those papers beforehand.
Benefit:
That does not only apply for my private issue of getting clear what topic I touched with MOM at what time, but also to any other unordered collection -- e.g. for papers collected in preparation of a diploma thesis..any scientific work, maybe even a law library..any library..all literature ever written.
Updates: none so far
