New Common Tag Format

Common Tag is an open tagging format defined using RDFa that makes content more discoverable. Unlike free-text tags, Common Tags are references to unique, well-defined concepts, complete with metadata and their own URLs.

The companies involved in the development of Common Tag are AdaptiveBlue, DERI (NUI Galway), Faviki, Freebase, Yahoo!, Zemanta, and Zigtag.
