• Goal: avoiding scenarios like https://e621.net/forum/show/185260

Using . as a 'class delimiter' (there's probably an actual term for this which i forgot) for tags:

• group1.tag
• group2.tag

Hierarchy:

• [type:]
• [type:][group].*
• [type:][group].[tag]
• [type:][group].[tag]_[qualifier]

Qualifiers could be pre-modifiers or post-modifiers:

Disambiguation qualifiers are usually (always?) postmodifiers

See meta:list of tag sets

1a. Can class typing (*.*) be used as a replacement for *_(*) disambiguation postmodifiers?

NB: possible conflicts with abbrv titles? [mr., mrs. etc]; [forum #]

dog

• dog.disambiguation
• dog.species
• dog.artist
• dog.artist1
• dog.artist2
• dog.copyright

1a1. post-postmodifiers

• *_(cosplay) -> *.cosplay | cosplay.*

• foxy_(foxy asso character)
• -> foxy.foxy_asso_character
• char:foxy_asso.foxy

• lia_(lolly)_lolipop_(character) (?)
• ??

1b. 'Composite' tag types: disjunct + union

species:dog
artist:dog

= species_artist: dog

species:artist.dog
artist:species.dog

= ???

#Should primary tag types be commutative?:
##associative?

species_artist:dog != artist_species:dog

-
species:dog
breed:dog

= species_breed:dog

species:breed.dog

= ???

1c. What about general tags as macrotags?

• dog
• species:dog
• species:breed.dog
• artist:dog
• copy:dog

1d. Shortcuts and delimiters .

presenting_genital_slit -> /pgs

• /psg.1
• /psg.[foo]
• /psg.2
• /psg.[bar]

//1

• group1|group2.*
• tag1|tag2
• group1|group2.tag1|tag2

What could be done with this?
Would it break anything?

--
Compare {{~dog ~cat}} with {{dog|cat}}

3.

e.g breast sizes

#topdown
 
Class = Breast.Size
 
Size = breasts 
 
breasts{ 
- hyper_breasts 
- huge_breasts 
- big_breasts 
- medium_breasts 
- small_breasts 
 
(- flat_chested)
}

 

//3

4. Custom-defined type primitives

define class(BodyType){
    human ;
    humanoid ;
    anthro ; //less ambiguous name?
    feral ;
}
 
for BodyType,
{
    !BodyType(%v); //"{{-![type]}}" omits all other BodyTypes except %v
        return $(!%v);
}
 

[Better forum title goes here]

Ok this is probably a bit out of scope for the tagging project section, but it does concern tags and tagging

Purpose

This is a quasi-placeholder forum for simultaneously sorting out various tag system possibilities as easily as possible, and creating a place for others with similar ideas to have a single place to discuss it

If you have any additional suggestions/observations about the tagging system, please post them in here!

Protip: If you don't know what's going on here, a basic understanding of Set Theory will fix that
