The tagcloud element exposes data to be used for creating visualizations. We are brainstorming about different types of data that could be used. One of them is the “syndicated” type, which details how many entries have been syndicated in a given month. For example, 43 entries tagged “science” were syndicated in January 2008.
<tag name=”science”>
<tagcloud type=”syndicated” year=”2006|2007|2008”
data=”0,0,0,0,0,0,4,23,45,32,34,31|
32,44,53,23,43,32,34,64,34,21,35,23|
43,23,34″/>
</tag>
By comparing the data for this tag with the data from the other tags, it’s possible to build a tagcloud to reveal what were the most syndicated tags in January 2008.
So far, we have the following types:
- Syndicated: number of entries syndicated;
- Authored: number of entries authored;
- Subscribed: number of subscribers;
- Commented: number of comments (from personal social network);
- Shared: number of entries shared (from personal social network).
We are open for feedback. Thanks!
