“Intro to TagTeam” will review the basics of TagTeam, a research tool and tagging platform developed by the Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP) at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.

TagTeam is a platform that supports the social tagging and aggregation of online resources, with the flexibility to manage your tag vocabulary from a folksonomy to an ontology.

This session will provide the background necessary to start using TagTeam by reviewing:

• TagTeam’s basic features and functions
• How to start a hub on TagTeam
• How to start tagging with TagTeam

Session Type: Teach

Session Keywords: Research Tools, Social Tagging, Open Source Software, Metadata and Controlled Vocabularies, Folksonomies and Ontologies.

THATCamp New England 2017 is nearly at capacity. We have fewer than 10 spots left. We are very excited to see a great diversity of campers, including a number of you with fantastic skill sets. The full agenda will be decided on the morning of March 25th, but to help us streamline the process, we would like to get a sense of who is willing to teach what in advance. This will help us make the best possible match between skills and interests. To that end, we’d like to invite proposals from ThatCampers who would like to teach.

Some of you are veteran THATCamp attendees and already know the process, but for those who are new or need a refresher, you can find the guidelines here. Session proposals are usually divided into four categories: make, play, talk, teach. Proposals to teach sessions jointly with other THATCampers are welcome and encouraged.

NOTE: We are currently at capacity, but will maintain a wait list up to a week before THATCamp. If a spot opens up, we will notify the person at the top of the wait list.
