[Xesam] [people] pimo:Tag vs nao:Tag

[Leo Sauermann]

Hi,

as others may be interested in this discussion, I am also including xesam
(= the ontology developers list)

I was a bit slow to answer, sorry.

Tomás - what are you programming? do you have a url or a blogpost about 
your work?

nao:Tag is for systems that just use NAO/NIE and are fine with 
no-brainer solutions.
a nao:Tag has the semantic meaning of : the tag is a string. its unique.

pimo:Tag is for systems that want to achieve a highlevel integration of 
Addressbooks, Calendars, Websites, etc... into a semantic network. 
pimo:Tags are then not only tags, but can be also a pimo:Person - that 
is, you can use a person's name to tag something but - surprise - it is 
also a person.
now clicking on the person will get more...
a pimo:Tag has the semantic meaning of : the tag is a unique string 
which is also a Thing out of the real world which can have more attributes.

I also documented this here in the FAQ
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/oscaf/wiki/PIMO/FAQ#Whatisthedifferencebetweennao:Tagandpimo:Tag

best
Leo

> About nao:Tag description:
> "This class is useful for modelling conventional tagging practices.
> The user can tag resources in conventional ways, automatically
