Tagging Data Will Help Future Searches
Few people take the time to organize data like digital photos, and several companies want to help them find a vacation photo years after taking it.
Tagging electronic information is the process of adding descriptive data, or metadata, to an item.
Search technologies developed by startup companies, like Yahoo's popular < href=http://www.flickr.com>Flickr service, will allow users to add tags of information to photos.
Next generation search technology could sift through these tags based on a user's search criteria.
If someone has several thousand photos and wants to find the one from a family reunion that took place on a Friday the 13th with a certain child in it, tags like "reunion," "Friday the 13th," and "nephew" would make it possible to find quickly.
