Tag Clouds for Resources

Perhaps a Cloud of Tags is unnecessary, but tagging resources similar to Youtube or like Tag Clouds allows for efficient searching and filtering. Anyone who uses the web would know how to use them. If a “Cloud of Tags” approach is used, then organizing the tags by some sort of frequency would be useful: the more often a given tag is used, the larger it gets (or perhaps the more often that tag is searched and referred).

Pros
  • Simple GUI Concept

  • Eases management of resources with Search

  • Orthogonal to other resource management schemes like Folders

Comments

Note: I was inspired with this idea during an email conversation with Rick777.

Agreed, this is useful. Furthermore, advanced config rules can make use of such tags and wiring can depend on them, for example to route your dialogue audio to another global bus than the music or ambiance.

To confirm this point: tagged assets are considered important and kept on the main agenda

Conclusion

This Design Proposal is superseded by a much more advanced proposal: Delectus
