The document discusses trends and future directions for tagging, including:
1. Tags will become more structured with both manual and automatic ("automanual") approaches to folksonomies.
2. Leveraging communities by combining similar tags and reducing noise will make tags more useful for finding and organizing information.
3. Tags can spark innovation by including additional metadata like locations, dates, and relationships to replicate categories and spark new applications.

a small amount semantics on top of minimal
structure can work wonders.”
