TAG this!

Yo Art Lovers! Come take part in a social tagging experiment going on the art world. The Art Museum Social Tagging Project involves research studies, real experiments, and prototypes exploring the potential for user-generated descriptions of the subjects of works of art to improve access to museum collections and encourage engagement with cultural content. "Steve" is one such collaborative project that has developed a very cool Web-based tool where users can view and tag art images.

Check out the project at http://steve.museum/.

Hi,

Thanks for your kind words about steve.museum.

We're engaged in a research project right now that explores user tagging of art. We'd like to encourage everyone to come and participate.

Open http://tagger.steve.museum -- sign up for an account 'cause it helps with our research -- and Start Tagging!

Thanks!
