@betula All of these names are commonly used to categorize and organize content or data in different systems. However, the best name ultimately depends on the context and specific use case.

Jahidul Islam

@betula "Categories" is a broad and general term that can apply to a wide range of systems and applications. It can be helpful for organizing content into high-level groups that users can easily understand and navigate.

"Tags" are often used in systems where users need to classify content with multiple descriptors that can be searched or filtered. They are commonly used in social media platforms, blogs, and e-commerce sites.

@betula "Labels" are similar to tags but are often used in more formal or structured systems. For example, labels may be used in a document management system to classify files by author, type, or date.

"Keywords" are specific words or phrases used to describe content for search engine optimization or web indexing. They are often used in web content, blogs, and online marketing.

@betula I chose Tags because I'm a content writer. 🥱 it's more suitable for me.

@betula What is the context? Something hierarchical, something non-hierarchical, things that have a status or priority, or do we want to describe content somehow?

Betula

@kusalananda The context is Betula, of course. This is a Betula account, after all.

Betula is a bookmarking software. An example Betula: links.bouncepaw.com

Basically, a linear collection of posts.

@betula "Category" and "Tags" describes how something is organised, but the former allows for hierarchical organisation, and the latter doesn't usually.

"Label" is something that helps you with prioritisation or that organises based on need ("for later", "urgent", "spam", "done").

"Keywords" describes the content in a way that makes it easy to find it in a search based on details in the content.

So, yes is the answer.

@betula tags, because (I assume), the taxonomy/ontology isn’t pre-defined—I’m generating it. Labels/Categories makes me assume that there’s a fixed set I can use. (and keywords I associate weirdly, only with stuff I’ve written/created myself)
