Flickr Tagr
As part of the IOLab course, we worked on a bunch of mini-projects related to themes like the semantic web, controlled vocabularies, distributed classification etc. We spent around 15-20 hours on each project. The Flickr Tagr, which Ljuba and I worked on, was one of the projects that was in a complete enough form. Here’s how we described it:
Flickr Tagr visualizes photographs based on social classifications (i.e. tags). It allows users to search for photographs tagged with particular words while showing them additional tags related to the ones selected so far. The goal is to allow a user to quickly visualize the photos available for an arbitrarily selected intersection of tags, while exposing them to other tags they might find interesting. Users can also click on a photograph to see a larger version in a custom-built light box.
We thought the faceted search interface to Flickr was fun to play around with!
