Implementing and Analyzing Keyword Tagging in All Our Ideas

by ddg for Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy

Requesting that users tag ideas with keywords would allow the efficient online calculation of sets of related submissions, opening up a variety of interesting ways to analyze data sets in terms of broader topics. The relative importance of entire "issues" for a community and the divisiveness of a particular subject could be estimated in addition to the relative popularity of specific ideas. These results could then be compared to the users' own perception of the community.
