Updates to the Web Apps Shell-Fish and About Tag

I just pushed new versions of Shell-Fish (the online version of Fish) and the About Tag app.

There are some quite significant changes, which I will summarize briefly.

• Shell-Fish has been updated to the latest version 4.26. It has sat at 4.00.0 for a ridiculously long time, and that became self-sustaining because non-trivial changes were needed to the web version to make it use the new one.

• The About Tag app now includes a clone of Shell-Fish. Click the bottom tag on the logo to use this.

• The search functionality in About Tag has been overhauled and remodelled on the much better version used at yet another of my sites, Art of Tagging, which is hosted on the intriguing PythonAnywhere platform. Changes include:

  • When you click a link, the diagram now appears inline
  • If you re-click, it refreshes
  • If you’re signed in, you can tag items and the diagram updates.

• The changes are quite major, and I haven’t tested them as thoroughly as I would wish, so I’ve probably broken some thing. Sorry. Let me know and I’ll try to fix them.

• The three sites all use the same model of requiring your Fluidinfo credentials; unfortunately they don’t share databases, so if you want to use all three, you need put them in three times. This is crazy; all three sites should merge, but that will take time.

• Although the search functionality on the About Tag site mostly works well, Google’s hard 10-second time limit on queries means that queries that match a lot of objects tend to time out. The version of Art of Tagging doesn’t suffer from this limit, but unfortunately that site is quite often down for maintenance.

• There are many small changes to Shell-Fish but two really major bits of new functionality:

  • Aliases and syncing now work. If you create aliases on a local version, type sync in Shell-Fish and they will appear there, and vice-versa. Among other things, this makes it easy to use sequences and access them from both sites.

  • You can drop the -i and -a in almost all cases. So (in the most common case), rather than:

    fish> tag -a "artist:melody gardot" rating=10

    you can simply use:

    fish> tag "artist:melody gardot" rating=10

    though the old form will, of course, continue to work, along with -q and the new -@ (for anonymous objects).

• My process of turning everything from XHTML to HTML5 continues. Shell-Fish and the About Tag we app are now pure HTML5, like this blog. Previously, they were all XHTML, which worked for everything under the Sun except Microsoft Browsers; at least now Internet Explorer 9 should be able to use some of the functionality. Users of Internet Explorer 1–8, and therefore of Windows XP, remain out of luck (in more ways than I can possibly enumerate, most of which are rather more significant than not being able to use these web sites).

The Two Kinds of Search: Locating Items vs. Locating Information

The advent of search engines has changed the world twice. What Google now rules, having toppled Yahoo and Alta Vista, Lycos and Excite, is web search. We all know it, we all use it, and unquestionably the web would be a nightmare without it.

The second time search changed the world was when it came to the personal data we keep on our own computers, or privately, online. Perhaps Apple was first, with Spotlight in OS X, which gave the ability to search essentially everything on your hard disk; it is fabulous. Soon after, Google offered its own Desktop Search, and Microsoft added similar capabilities to Windows, starting with Vista. (I might actually argue that Palm was first: a really striking feature of even the earliest Palm Pilots was integrated search across all your data—contacts, notes, to-do lists, calendar and more. Amazingly, I know of no smart phone that does it as well, even today. On the iPhone, for example, you can’t search on photo names; it’s infuriating.) Google, of course, also offers search across Gmail, and encourages people never to discard a message.

But the real distinction I want to make is not between these two search revolutions, but rather between searching for a particular item—one that you know exists and simply need to locate—and searching for information on a topic with no special knowledge of where, or in what form, that information exists.

These are quite different activities, and the former—locating a specific item—is general harder. This is counter-intuitive. How can searching for something on your own hard disk possibly be harder than finding someone on the countless billions of pages that form the web?

The answer, of course, is that if it is just information you want, there’s a good chance it exists in many forms, in different places. Subject to things like authority, credibility and verifiability, any source (or sources) will do; whereas by definition, when you are searching for a specific item, success requires finding precisely that item.

The problem with searching email¶

In my experience, email is the hardest information for most people to search successfully. Quite a lot of the time, full-text search barely helps, because it fails to narrow down the information enough, or unwittingly excludes the item you are searching for. Arguably, people are now worse off in this respect than before the advent of local data search, because we are often lulled into a false sense of security, believing that, contrary to our regular experience, we will be able to find it, and thus being freed of the burden to organize our information.

The first is a problem because by the time we come to search for email, we often have only a hazy idea of anything that search might be able to latch onto that really distinguishes that one key email. We might know who it’s from Jo; but perhaps not which email address she used, or whether her or full is in the message anywhere. And if it’s someone you swap mails with a lot, this could still be hundreds or thousands of messages.

We will usually some idea about the date. But even that might be fairly hazy (or in my case, plain wrong).

The hardest problem is that of choosing the other search terms. Most modern search is essentially literal in character—while it will perform stemming (making run and running equivalent; perhaps even ran) and handle simple spelling variants, it is deliberately not semantic; that is, if you search on ‘run’, the search makes no attempt to match ‘sprint’, for example. (There are search engines that are semantic, but mostly this approach is not favoured, and not found to be helpful for internet search.)

In the context of searching the web, this exactness doesn’t matter for reasons that are directly linked to the fact that you are not looking for a particular item: you just want information. You might by-pass sources of information that use a different word, but as long as some useful sources do use it, that isn’t really problematical. The link structure of the web also works to your advantage here, with one page leading to another.

None of this applies in email. If you search on ‘run’ but the email only talks about sprinting, the mail won’t match, and there is unlikely to be another linking to it. So standard search approaches exclude emails that you want to find because of their precision. At the same time, any email that does match your terms will be included. If any ranking of results is shown at all, it will probably be unhelpful, so you end up feeling as if you need search within the search results. But you cannot, not for technical reasons but because you don’t know how to refine it further and if you do you’re almost as likely to exclude that which you seek as that which you do not.

The Genius of Tagging¶

One crucial difference between organizing with tags and organizing in folders is that you don’t have to choose a single location for something. If you tag regularly, you find that it imposes a very low overhead (much lower, I find, than choosing which folder to put a message into) and that you quickly develop a standard vocabularly of tags that you use without really thinking about it. A good bias to have is “when in doubt, add the tag”, i.e. if you think there’s any chance at all it might be useful, add it. Tags are cheap.

But the true genius of tagging is not that items that contain the tag; it’s the ones that don’t. This is a case of the dog that doesn’t bark in the night.

For by tagging a particular set of messages with “running” (say), I am also (implicitly) not tagging all the other messages—including the ones that include words like run—with running. That difference is critical. When you look for a set of items that you have tagged with a given word, you are looking that things for which that word (that tag) are important, rather than incidental. This is the genius of tagging. It not only identifies that which you tag as (potentially) relevant; it also implicitly marks everything else as probably not relevant to that tag.

When looking for a particular item, that can make the difference between success and failure.

Ratings and FluidDB

As Terry (@terrycojones) will endlessly tell you, there aren’t really any rules in FluidDB. Yet this blog is largely dedicated to trying to establish and promote useful (voluntary) conventions that I believe will make FluidDB more useful for everyone. Today, I want to talk about ratings and suggest some conventions for those.

Why Conventions Matter¶

You may have heard that NASA lost its $125m Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft as a result of using imperial units in some places and metric units in other places. If not, read all about it in New Scientist (Schoolkid blunder brought down Mars probe). While conversion between systems usually possible, life is much simpler, and less error-prone, if everyone uses the same system.

Why Good Conventions Matter¶

It’s sometimes argued that as long as there is a convention, it doesn’t really matter what it is. I don’t really agree with that. Even though I personally think in imperial units (feet, inches, pounds, chains, furlongs, perches, tons, pints, acres, farenheit etc.), and maintain they are excellent human-scale units for every-day measurement, I would never dream of calculating with them. Clearly, the SI system (metric units) is far superior for calculation. This rather wonderful video of American Chopper mechanics calculating in inches illustrates the problem. (It really is worth watching, and is only two-and-a-half minutes.)

Summary Recommendations¶

I’ll explain them below, but in descending order of importance, my suggestions are as follows:

1. If you rate things in FluidDB, do it with a tag called rating.

2. Make your ratings numeric, with 0 as the worst rating and 10 as the best rating. (I’m sure most people will use integers; in principle, floating point values should be just fine too, but apparently FluidDB’s query language is broken with respect to type coercion in inequalities for now, so it’s probably best to stick with integers.)

3. Declare your tag as a numeric rating from 0 to 10 by tagging the object for your tag with a top-level tag in your namespace called convention with the value fluiddb:rating:0-10.

   If you use the fdb utility, and your FluidDB username is njr (which it isn’t) you could do this as follows:

   fdb tag -a "Object for the attribute njr/rating" convention="fluiddb:rating:0-10"

   This works because the object for the rating tag for user username (always) has the about tag

   Object for the attribute username/rating

   and the fdb tag ... command above will create a tag called convention in your namespace (assuming you use your credentials with fdb, and you don’t already have such a tag) and then tag the relevant FluidDB object with it.

   If you don’t use fdb you should be able to do this with any other FluidDB library or tool. You may first need to find the ID of the object by using the FluidDB query

   fluiddb/about = "Object for the attribute username/rating"
   

   (replacing username with your username), and then using that ID to specify the object you want to tag.

Why These Three Suggestions?¶

1. Why rating?¶

One of the core motivating ideas for FluidDB is that different users should be able to share information by placing tags on objects representing things that they both know something about, or have an interest in. Many of the posts here on the AboutTag blog are concerned with conventions for choosing which FluidDB object to use for a particular entity. For example, the suggested object for Lewis Carroll’s book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” is the one with the about tag

book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis Carroll)

which has ID

03c8ce35-aa5e-4b58-b3ab-ddda55642b15

(There’s a list of The Guardian’s “1,000 Novels everyone must read” and the about tags for their FluidDB objects here.)

One of Terry’s favourite examples involves looking things that he hasn’t read but someone else he knows has rated above some value. So if he were looking for things I have rated above 7 that he hasn’t read, he might use a query such as:

njr/rating > 7 except has terrycojones/has-read

It rather goes without saying, that in order to write such a query, he has to know what tag I use for rating things. Clearly, he could maintain a list of what tags each of his friends uses for rating, but obviously his (and everyone’s) life will be simpler if we all just agree that we’ll use the same tag for ratings. Of course, there’s nothing magic about rating except that Terry has already used it in many of his examples, but for English-speakers at least, rating seems like a reasonable choice.

2. Why 0–10, numeric¶

I feel pretty strongly that rating should be numeric because ratings are ordinal, i.e. the core idea of a rating scale is that the different ratings go from worst to best in a well-defined sequence. Numbers are generally the best choice for ordinal values. Among other virtues, they allow us to compute statistics, (mean, mode, median, standard deviation, min, max ...) and are much more international than words.

Again, the choice of 0 to 10 is arbitrary, but is at least one of a number of scales already in common use—perhaps even the most common.

Clearly, lots of other schemes are in widespread use, including

• star ratings — often either 1–5 (e.g. Apple App store), or 0–5 (Guardian Film ratings) but sometimes 0–4, sometimes 0–3, occasionally 0–10 or 1–10 (e.g. IMDb). (In fact, IMDb computes averages of its star ratings and reports them numerically.)

• phrase ratings — e.g. such as

  • “Highly recommended”, “Recommended”, “Neutral”, “Disliked”, “Highly disliked” (suggested by @jkakar),
  • “Excellent”, “Good”, “Fair”, “Poor”, “Very Poor”

• Percentages

• Grades A+ to C– or A+ to E–.

and if people want to use these, obviously there’s nothing I can (or would want) to do to stop them. At least in these cases, there are straightforward ways to translate, but I maintain that all of these are really just proxies for numeric scales, and that there is a natural way to map each of them onto a 0–10 scale.

If there’s a clamour, we can certainly introduce other conventions (e.g. fluiddb:star-rating:1-5) and suggested mappings between them, but for now, I suggest just going with 0–10.

3. Why Tag the Tag?¶

If everyone ends up using a rating tag called rating and having the values run from 0–10, there won’t be much need for people to declare their conventions. Given the open nature of the system, however, and the unlikihood of conventions being mandated, an opt-in declaration will help.

Obviously, for Terry to be able to formulate the query

njr/rating > 7 except has terrycojones/has-read

he needs to know the name of the tag and the range of values it takes on, and by my declaring my rating tag to be a 0–10 rating tag, he can have more confidence that I at least intend it to be used that way. (He can potentially check the range of values I’ve actually used as well, but if he sees only zeros and ones, it’s hard for him to know whether I’m in fact using a 0–1 scale or am simply hard to please.)

The Conventions¶

Just as I have started to collate conventions for about tags, I intend, before too long, to start collating conventions for tags such as rating; has-read will probably be next. For now, I’ve simply instantiated an object in FluidDB with the about tag fluiddb:rating:0-10 and presuaded miro to tag it with a description. Here’s how fdb sees it:

fdb show -a fluiddb:rating:0-10 /miro/description /id
Object with about="fluiddb:rating:0-10":
  /miro/description = "FluidDB numeric rating scale from 0 (worst) to 10 (best). Usually used with tags called rating."
  /id = "5fb6dc31-addd-4a75-a08b-4decec269ff5"

Happy rating!

How to Tag Books in FluidDB

It occurred to me that there were a couple of important things I missed off the post. on the Guardian 1000 Books the other day.

Specifically how, if you don’t currently have a way of tagging things in FluidDB, to do it, and what the list of about tags actually is.

This post aims to remedy those two omissions.

Tagging a Book¶

If you have fdb.py already, the basic idea is just that to rate Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with a 10, you type:

fdb tag -a "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)" rating=10

Here

• fdb is an alias for ‘python fdb.py'
• tag is the fdb command to tag something
• -a says that I’m going to specify the item I want to tag through its about tag (which will be the next argument).
• "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)" is the about tag of the object corresponding to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland using previously discussed conventions. (See section below (The About Tags) for the about tags for the Guardian 1000 books.)
• rating is shorthand for (in my case) /njr/rating, which is fdb‘s way of referring to what FluidDB itself calls njr/rating. (I lost the battle for leading slash inside Fluidinfo, but it lives on in fdb.py.)

If you want to check you have the right object first and then verify that you successfully tagged it, a full interaction might be:

$ fdb tags -a "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)"
Object with about="book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)":
/objects/03c8ce35-aa5e-4b58-b3ab-ddda55642b15
  /miro/class = "record"
  /fluiddb/about = "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)"
  /miro/books/surname = "Carroll"
  /miro/books/title = "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
  /miro/books/forename = "Lewis"
  /miro/books/guardian-1000 = True
  /miro/books/year = 1865
  /miro/books/author = "Lewis Carroll"

$ fdb tag -a "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)" rating=10

$ fdb tags -a "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)"
Object with about="book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)":
/objects/03c8ce35-aa5e-4b58-b3ab-ddda55642b15
  /miro/class = "record"
  /fluiddb/about = "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)"
  /miro/books/surname = "Carroll"
  /miro/books/title = "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
  /njr/rating = 10
  /miro/books/forename = "Lewis"
  /miro/books/guardian-1000 = True
  /miro/books/year = 1865
  /miro/books/author = "Lewis Carroll"

Another tip is that if you don’t want to look at my list below, you can search on books to find their about tags using fdb. For example:

$ fdb show -q 'miro/books/surname = "Carroll"' /about
2 objects matched
Object 8cd6fd0a-40e1-4889-ac3f-2b3dbb6f861d:
  /fluiddb/about = "book:through the looking glass and what alice found there (lewis carroll)"
Object 03c8ce35-aa5e-4b58-b3ab-ddda55642b15:
  /fluiddb/about = "book:alices adventures in wonderland (lewis carroll)"

You can see the tags all the books have in the previous post and see the query language that FluidDB supports at on the FluidDB Query Language page. Unfortunately, at the moment, text matching is exact and case sensitive, so looking at the table below or working out the noramlized about tag (which uses the book-1 convention) is probably easier.

Installing and Configuring fdb¶

If you don’t have it already and would like it, you can grab fdb.py from fdb.py and place it somewhere suitable. (You’ll probably want to rename the directory from fdb.py to fdb; sorry about that; it was my first use of github and I’m not sure there’s a way for me to rename the project directory now it’s up there.) If you’re using an earlier version of python than 2.6, you’ll need simplejson.py as well.

You then need to create a two-line file in your home directory with your FluidDB username on the first line and your FluidDB password on the second line. On Unix, this file is .fluidDBcredentials and on Windows it is fluidDBcredentials.ini.

Optionally then create an alias fdb for python /path/to/fdb.py. In bash you do this with

alias fdb='python /home/martha/fdb/fdb.py

if your home directory is '/home/martha and you stuck the directory you downloaded from github in your home directory and renamed it to remove the .py extension.

And that’s it. You could run its tests by typing

fdb

and you should get a line of 14 dots and then an OK of some sort.

Now you should be good to tag.
