Some positive feedback to our tagging feature

An Ole from a Spaniard for the Tagging and Groups feature:


"Constituye una innovación importante, sobre todo por la filosofía subyacente, que hace entroncar a un servicio comercial de información científica con las métodos de la web social y con los modos de comunicación más libres (Flickr, Del.icio.us, Connotea). Es también un guiño a los usuarios, una entrega de poder al consumidor."

"Es una iniciativa interesante sin duda. Lo más significativo es que muestra la voluntad y capacidad de los grandes sistemas comerciales de información científico-técnica, históricos diríamos, de competir con las formas emergentes de comunicación y con los grandes buscadores abiertos al público y sufragados con publicidad." via Observatorio de Martinej

"It is an interesting initiative without a doubt. Most significantly it shows the will and capacity of the big scientific and technical commercial platforms, historical we would say, to compete with the emergent forms of communication and the big public search engines ....."

Folksonomy meets taxonomy: Introducing Tags & Groups in Engineering Village

Our indexers have been "tagging" free language terms for years for Compendex now it's time to test and add to this a bottom up indexing from users. Go ahead and tag any record in Engineering Village.

Our new release with Tags and Groups feature is live and we might be the first abstract & index database (subscription) who is taking the "indexing" to the next level.

Here is the tag clouds which are currently being generated from our free language terms in Compendex database.
















Users will be able to tag records for public, private, their institution and for their groups too. We also suggesting terms when you add a tag.













Our tech team has done a great job putting this release out.

With this release you'll see some major enhancements for Referex Engineering books too. Finally you don't need to download the whole book to read a page.

We are running training sessions for the new release. Our training manager Gali Halevi will show you how you can leverage tagging and groups feauture within your organization.

Go check the new release of Engineering Village and don't forget sending us your feedback.
