| | 8 | Users that have flickr.com or technorati accounts have their mental concepts already entered as '''tags'''. Each tag is, per default, a candidate to be an instance of type "topic". Ususally, Tags are topics anyway. |
| | 9 | Also, the user can manually add tags to any resource on the semantic desktop. These tags should also be included in the mywikitology. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | see ApertureDatasources for a list of datasources that create tags and may be used. |

| | 15 | Synchronising Folders To Topics / instances. Folders in the file-system can be linked to subjects from the mental model. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | * a class is linked to a folder - the sub-folders or files in the folder are instances of the class. Example: the class "Project" is linked to folder "home/john/projects/". All folders on the hard-disk are assumed to be projects. |
| | 18 | * an instance is linked to a folder - the sub-folders and sub-files are documents that are describing the instance (pim:hasSubject). |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | For each case, an editor has to be written in the WikitologyGui and the editor, enabling the user to associate concepts to folders. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | The WikitologyService has to watch for changes in these folders (notified by Aperture on recrawling the folders) and move them to the mental models. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | The synchronisation can be configured to be in '''suggested classes/instances mode''', where the new things are only candiates, or in '''confirmed mode'''. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | * synchronisation creates '''suggestions''' - the created classes / instances MAY be useful to the user, but don't have to be and should not be visualized at all times |
| | 27 | * synchronisation creates '''classes / instances''' - the items in the linked folder will always represent something. |
