File:Oad2.jpeg This list is part of the Open Access Directory.

  • This page is temporarily closed to public edits while the project (1) works out methods for communal governance and (2) builds software to deal with approved and deprecated tags. To suggest edits to this page, contact Peter Suber.

One pre-defined project tag

  • There is only one pre-defined project tag, oa.new. Use this tag for OA developments that are new within the last six months, at the time of tagging. Also use it for new articles and comments about older developments.

Many user-defined project tags

  • This is the folksonomy side of OATP. The project supports user-defined "subtopic tags" for classifying OA-related web pages. The project does not presuppose a consensus ontology for OA, but harnesses user activity to support the evolution of one.

Many approved project tags

  • This is the ontology side of OATP. Once the project approves certain tags for certain subtopics, it actively encourages their use. Except for oa.new, all of these started as user-defined tags and have been approved by the project for inclusion in the OATP tag vocabulary or ontology.
  • OATP uses the power of TagTeam to convert deprecated tags to approved tags automatically. Note that this process only affects the TagTeam copies of tag records, for example, for publishing output feeds and searching. If you tagged items on another platform (such as CiteULike, Connotea, or Delicious), your original tags will remain unchanged.
  • This list of approved tags is not complete. So far it only includes approved tags in need of annotation. Over time, we hope to make it a complete --but still growing-- list of approved tags.
    • This does not include approved national tags (oa.argentina, oa.brazil, oa.china), language tags (oa.german, oa.hindi, oa.italian), regional tags (oa.africa, oa.latin_america, oa.scandinavia), or disciplinary tags (oa.anthropology, oa.biology, oa.chemistry) unless they are non-obvious or need annotation.
    • Nor does this list include tags for the US states, based on the official postal abbreviations (oa.fl, oa.ga, oa.hi).

Annotating OATP tags

We will try to include these kinds of annotation on the approved project tags. Please let us know if we can improve the annotations.

  1. To describe their scope or purpose
    • For example: oa.societies: "for OA-related developments about learned societies or professional associations, especially those that publish journals"
  2. To spell out abbreviations
    • For example: oa.pd: "public domain"
  3. To point to related tags, for taggers who might want to use them and for readers who might want to follow or search for them
    • For example: oa.repositories: "Related: oa.deposits, oa.green, oa.ir, oa.oai, oa.repositories.data, oa.repositories.disciplinary "
  4. To recommend alternative tags
    • For example: oa.economics: "for OA-related developments in the field of economics; for the economics of OA itself, use oa.economics_of "
  5. To indicate when a tag is deprecated
    • For example: oa.repositories: "Deprecated: oa.archive, oa.archives, oa.repository "
  6. To indicate when an external web site links to an OATP tag library
    • For example: oa.cope: "This tag library is linked from the COPE links page."
  7. To point users to a discussion about the tag
  8. To indicate efforts to make a tag retroactively comprehensive, or efforts to search out and tag relevant past items. Note that "comprehensive" here does not mean "complete".
    • For example: oa.books.sales: "Retroactively comprehensive since about June 2010."

Discussing OATP tags

  • We may launch a forum for discussing which proposed tags should be approved for the project. Meantime, use the discussion section attached to this page (second tab from left, above) to discuss the best tags for given subtopics.
