What we currently call tags will become "extended metadata".
We will add to the UI simple, flickr-like tagging.
"Manage Tags and Metadata"
• "Manage Tags and Metadata" tab will say "Manage Metadata"
• Popup window title will have same change as above
• Manage Metadata window will be the same, except for wording changes: "category" will become "metadata field"; "tag" will become "value"
Item Metadata Screens (edit item/view item metadata/upload/bulk upload)
• All Extended Metadata fields (as created in the Manage Metadata screen) will look like the Dublin Core fields do, except that they will all be drop-down menus. The "Field" name will be the label (like title, contributor, etc.), and the values within that field will show up as options in a drop-down menu
• The bottom of this page that now says Tags will be simplified, and will be used for simple, flickr-like tagging. There will be no hierarchy of category-tag. There will be a list of existing tags (same as is there now), and user can click on a tag and click "remove" to delete the tag from the item. There will be a text box, with instructions underneath to enter tags separated by spaces, and if they want a multi-word tag, to enter it surrounded by quotes_._
Question: Will the backend check to see if there is an already existing tag that matches before it creates a new one?
Search
• Extended metadata field names will appear in the drop-down list, as the dublin-core fields do. When selected, the drop-down list of those values will appear as the options (instead of a text box).
Question: allow multiple select, or have them create additional rules to specify multiple values?
Needs to be clear, in search, that it is an AND rather than an OR
• Tags: there will be a simple text box, and users can enter one or more tags to search against.
