Flickr announce Machine Tags@en

straup Pro User says:

We are rolling out a new feature called "machine tags" that allows users to be more precise in how they tag, and how they search, their photos.



Many of you may already be familiar with machine tags by another name (triple tags) or because you are already using them, informally, in your code (for example, "geo:long=123.456").

Queryable via the API, e.g.

* Find photos titled "mr. camera" in the 'dc' namespace :



{"machine_tags" => "dc:title=\"mr. camera\"}

Also in the FAQ :

If you are concerned about colliding namespaces you should consider adding an additional machine tag to define your namespace. For example :



dc:subject=tags

xmlns:dc=http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/

Comment :

timbl: Now there is a URI! :)
