"Webtagging and Webtagging navigation" - presentation by Douglas Russell
-
Demo - name tokenised, matches with tags (blue), extra tags (green), no matches (pink).
- Don’t reload when images selected, switch to thumbnails etc.
- Slow to render (E.g. 30 images in dataset)
- Optimise with efficient hql queries
- Might need paging etc for larger datasets.
-
Navigation:
- find tags in intuitive filesystem-like manner
- offer all tags as a starting point for navigation
- refine search space by choosing tags
- count of tagged items is reduced
- when ‘done’ you can get the list of tagged items
- standalone app at the moment
- Performance initially poor - refined
- Now much better - need to test on larger numbers.
- Ola - some of these queries / projections could be in BlitzGateway?
- Douglas - but they are quite customised. Will e-mail details.
- Ola - could go in main Tags or Search pages of webclient
- Douglas - think about integrating with other search criteria
- Will - similar functionality to 3-column layout of other webclient pages
- Tagsets - add to nav - equivalent of adding all tags from tagset. - Only want tagsets if some images have all tags from tagset.
- Simon - how to take results from tagging and E.g. use them for searcher etc?
-
Demo - name tokenised, matches with tags (blue), extra tags (green), no matches (pink).
