A note on image tagging templates…

Our enterprise image tagging service has taught us a lot about how we should extend our consumer service. When a large e-commerce company engages us in a significant (60,000 – 10 million) image tagging job the challenge is in understanding their taxonomy and how to abstract that into a template that can drive quality image tagging results. We’ve become really good at this and have recently realized that while each of our enterprise customer seems to have a different reason for tagging their images and a unique taxonomy the concept of “image tagging templates” extends to our consumer service. In fact we can improve our image tagging quality by leaps and bounds by creating a handful of templates that our consumer image tagging clients can use – templates such as vacation, birthday, Christmas, wedding, Halloween and bar mitzvah.

Once we’ve implement the standard “image tagging templates” the next leap in quality and flexibility will come in the form of a “image tagging template wizard” that will allow clients to create and share their own templates.

BTW – If you’re interested in our Enterprise Image Tagging solution please call or e-mail me. You need this service if you are currently employing your own taggers or if you’re working on an SEO campaign and are just starting to think about how you might tag thousands or millions of images.
