I’ve already written a post about Library of Congress online presence at Flickr. Now the Swedish National Heritage Board has uploaded 150 photographs to Flickr.
I find that this is a brilliant way of making cultural heritage significant. Beyond the few times a year I go to a museum I can’t say, that I experience being part of a rich cultural heritage.
Now images from my moblogging of daily routines and parties get remixed with 100 years old photographs previously just lying around in piles of dust in archives and museums. A bit harsh said but hope you bare with the exaggeration ;-)

When I first browsed through the Swedish National Heritage Boards images, I found some wonderful photographs taken by Carl Curman in the 1880’s. Curman also visited Denmark and Ørstedsparken in Copenhagen:

Two days later i passed the same spot Curman had captured in 1882, and I couldn’t resist myself:

I hope that more cultural heritage institutions will go online in Flickr.

In Stockholm public library catalog users can tag content. And here I found one of the finest tags:

jobbig-men-bra

Loosely translated: strenuous but good
Jobbig is a bit hard to translate, the closest I can came was strenuous, it could also be translated with tough.

The tag is used to describe content like the film Dancer in the dark by Lars von Trier and La Haine by Mathieu Kassovitz. I think the tag is very accurate in relation to these films ;-)

Another feature in the catalog is that you can report abuse in tags. This is probably a thing that many folksonomies must incorporate to avoid spam.

Unfortunate the authors of the tags are not displayed. I don’t know if its there is a legal problem with showing public library users in Sweden.

What a great tag: JOBBIG-MEN-BRA

Hurrah!

My Eboy Pixorama book has arrived! It’s consists of eight great illustrations of pixorama cities which I can spend hours just looking through.

Now the big question is - Do I dare showing it to my kids Viola and Ask - aged 4 and 2? And if I do, will I own the book afterwards?   ;-)

The frontside illustration is a city called Foobar. I think it will go nice to a presentation on social technologies on the web.

I just stumbled over this bibliography over tagging and folksonomy related literature.

Library 2.0 Bibliography - Tagging & Folksonomies

I been meaning to make one myself, but now I am grateful for Monika Bargmanns ;-) There is a lot of articles from library periodical which I haven’t read. She also has a listing specific for social bookmarking.
