The core idea
A label should explain why an item belongs in a collection. Keep the item’s identity, its source, and its editorial topics distinct. A headline can change while the underlying record and the subject it covers remain the same. That separation gives both readers and maintainers a more dependable starting point.
A workable starting pattern
Begin with a small set of representative items. Write a scope note for each recurring concept, select a preferred label, and record genuine aliases. Use categories for broad shelves and tags for connections across them. Review ambiguous items before introducing more labels or an automatic classification layer.
For a collection about the open web, “syndication” can connect RSS and Atom articles while “tutorial” describes a format. Keep those fields separate so a reader can distinguish what an item covers from how it teaches the subject.
What this page does—and does not—offer
TagsFeed is an independent guide collection. It does not run a hosted feed-tagging service, accept uploads, or classify a visitor’s content.
