Hi Neal, Smithsonian does include tagging on their collections search: http://collections.si.edu/search/
They do require approval. Once it does get approved, it becomes part of the permanent record for the item albeit in a separate User Tag field. Of course, all the collections on Flickr Commons, and Flickr for that matter, include tagging. It varies by institution on who pulls those back and I don¹t have a list of who does what. There have been discussions about including this activity on the Smithsonian¹s Transcription Center which is now mainly for primary source and specimen sheet transcription. Of interest is asking the public to help with some of the cataloging with established taxonomies, or alternatively, marking up text for completing record fields. https://transcription.si.edu/ Best, Effie > > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Message: 1 >Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 13:24:51 +0000 >From: Neal Stimler <neal.stim...@gmail.com> >To: "mcn-l@mcn.edu" <mcn-l@mcn.edu> >Subject: [MCN-L] Social Tagging for Museum Online Collections >Message-ID: > <CACK8215HG7260Z7GaA1=c8zeschnyfog79cwvl3obgx7koy...@mail.gmail.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > >Dear Colleagues, > >Seeking examples of museums that continue incorporate crowdsourced social >tagging in their online collections.
