Yes, there is. Tags can be associated with URIs, making them globally unambiguous identifiers. So e.g. there's a tag: http://del.icio.us/tag/photography Which means "photography" according to del.icio.us. This may or may not mean the same as : http://dannyayers.com/tag/photography Which means "photography" according to me. Relationships between tags (equivalence, subsets etc) can be expressed in the Semantic Web languages of RDF and OWL, in particular using the SKOS vocabulary and/or the Tag Ontology.
I'm Mike Malloch, a software developer with strong opinions about what is wrong with elearning1.0 and vivid hopes for elearning2.0. Mike Malloch photo Through my work with KnowNet, I'm trying to do something practical to enable elearning2.0. Through my elearning2.0 blog I'll be sharing some ideas about what we all can do to speed that development. See KNotations for my technical documentation and writing. I do a lot of bookmarking and tagging, covering issues in elearning, standards, web2.0 and web technologies. I recommend checking my del.icio.us bookmarks and tags directly, since I often post more bookmarks in a day than del.icio.us will deliver via RSS.
