Deferred Task: Tagging of Articles

Volunteer Task: Tagging of Articles

Task Description and Explanation: (this task is defered because of higher priorities and no staff person to assign to it) 

Tagging as a Navigation aid- As more and more content becomes available on Bible.org and the Internet in general, users need better tools to aid in the location and rapid assessment of articles as to their answering what the user is searching for By assisting the technical staff in this exercise, it is hoped that better tags or help words will be added to system so that users can readily find articles that lean towards those areas that the tagging supports.

Pre-reading assignment: http://labs.bible.org/NETBibleTagger

Step by step description of task:

1. Find a sample page e.g. http://bible.org/seriespage/stewardship-time
2. Copy the url and paste it into a file
3. Do a “save as” so that your work is not lost
