Background Pony #7C7A
I understand it, given the current plaintext tagging system. However it has a downside: if I want to see cute ponies in hats, I won’t see AJ in the results because images with her are not tagged “hat” (as wearing a hat is her default).
It could be fixed by having a better tag system that can be used to reason about the tags. For example:
In short, I recommend not tagging things that are:
- default for a creature or character UNLESS it’s a main focus/theme/topic

It could be fixed by having a better tag system that can be used to reason about the tags. For example:
- If Applejack is present in the image and “
<Applejack> <instance of> <MLP pony>
”, the system would reason that the “<image> <depicts> <MLP pony>
” tag applies (and doesn’t need to be added manually by the user). - When AJ is wearing a hat, it’s likely “
Applejack's hat
” and the system would ask the user to confirm.
Similarly, it could intelligently collapse redundant tags, for example: - If a picture is tagged “
<Applejack> <is wearing> <Applejack's hat>
” and the system knows she’s usually wearing it, then the hat-related tags can be hidden, as they are expected, and only the “<image> <depicts> <Applejack>
” tag would be visible by default.
I keep dreaming about a “multibooru” metadata system for IPFS which in theory would be able to describe all media (and other files too) on the Internet in a coherent way. Entities and their relations could be pulled from Wikidata and some of the metadata about files could be pulled from various existing websites (boorus, wikias, Thingiverse, VirusTotal, etc.)
