Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP) » Open Access Tracking Project (OATP) » tags

  • 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

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

Many approved project tags

  • 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.
  • OATP uses the power of TagTeam to convert deprecated tags to approved tags automatically.
    • Note that this process only affects tag records in TagTeam itself, for example, for publishing output feeds and searching. If you tagged items on another platform (such as CiteULike or Delicious), and asked OATP to subscribe to your feeds from that platform, then your original tags will remain unchanged. Only the OATP copies of those tags will show the effects of this automatic conversion.
  • The list of approved tags below is not complete. So far it only includes approved tags in need of annotation. We update it regularly, to include newly approved tags and older approved tags that could benefit from annotation.
    • This list does not include all approved national tags (oa.algeria, oa.brazil, oa.china), language tags (oa.arabic, oa.bulgarian, oa.chinese), or regional tags (oa.africa, oa.balkans, oa.caribbean). For more detail, see our separate page on tags by countries, continents, and regions.
    • Nor does this list include all approved disciplinary tags (oa.anthropology, oa.biology, oa.chemistry) unless they are non-obvious or need annotation. For more detail, see our separate page on tags by fields or disciplines.
    • Nor does this list include all approved institution tags. Our practice on tags for institutions, organizations, named projects, and so on, is in flux. We have tags for some but not all publishers; some but not all universities; some but not all societies; some but not all named projects, and so on. The reason we have some is that some are major players who come up a lot. The reason we don't have all, or don't aspire to have all, is that there are thousands of them. We don't even have a principle or firm border line to help distinguish those that do and don't have tags, or those that should and shouldn't. Bottom line: Feel free to create a tag for any institution, organization, project, and so on. On the other hand, if the institution, organization, or project is mentioned in your description, then users can still find those tag records with keyword searches, even if they can't find them with tag searches; hence feel free to avoid creating or using tags for them.

Annotating OATP tags

In the list of approved project tags above, we try to include the following kinds of annotations. If we're not up to date, or haven't been as clear and helpful as we could be, please let us know.

  1. To describe the scope or purpose or the tag
    • 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 or academic discipline 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
    • [We may launch a discussion forum to discuss OATP tags but have not yet done so.]
  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."
