@gaditb i think tag labels should be blank nodes, and not have identifiers :P

but for cuddling

@gaditb i think generally we are in agreement conceptually i am just coming at this from a library sciences mentality whereas you are coming at it from a social sciences mentality so we're putting emphasis in different places

i want a library system which works, you want a social infrastructure enabling a certain kind of communication, the actual solution needs to be both of these things

@gaditb that's because these are best practices that are impossible to change once you do them wrong the first time

like mastodon accounts being unable to change their username because eugen decided to put that in the URL and if it changed it would break all the links and federation generally for every existing account

i put a lot of emphasis on not doing this because it's really important that you not do this lol. you need to be able to change “transsexual” to “transgender” to “trans” in the canonical version of the tag, even if some works continue to use outdated terminology, or else you will build systems (like the library of congress subject headings) which perpetuate outdated and offensive terminology long after better language comes about

as far as localization goes, i generally agree with your takes but also pokémon have different names in english and japanese and different people pick different ones; i think that can be supported. there will be bilingual communities and multilingual communities and even (especially) understanding that the tags are translations from a different language, people might still want to read them in a language they actually understand. i think that can be supported too

@gaditb you can't have that cake and eat it too though without those communities doing the work to, you know, define that agreed-upon ontology and put it out there in a format their members can use, which is the problem space i'm trying to tackle
