A Modest Proposal

In Linking

Was just reminded (thanks, Tim) of the possibility of using a special tag in bookmarking services to tag links to documents of interest to a given community. I think this is a fairly well-established practice. Note that e.g. the OAI-ORE project is using Connotea to bookmark pages of interest and tagging them “oaiore” which can then be easily retrieved using the link http://web.archive.org/web/20160402182544/http://www.connotea.org/.

I would suggest that Crossref members might like to consider using the tag “crosstech” in bookmarking pages about publishing technology, so that the following links might be used to retrieve documents of interest to this readership:

• del.icio.us - <https://web.archive.org/web/20071206033322/https://del.icio.us/
  • CiteULike - http://www.citeulike.org/tag/crosstech
    • Connotea - http://web.archive.org/web/20160402182544/http://www.connotea.org/
      • etc.
