Linked data of A/IS Ethics Tags is hard to make it simpler #12

TL;DR: This also is a permanent call for ideas (both from logic of link the data and some interface to show the tags), but if you want to take ideas back to the main repository, consider the non-English tags and also how to make easier for people contribute. The license (public domain) allows you to do your on fork/new project even without citing the original one; and we're ok if you do this.

Linked data of A/IS Ethics Tags is hard to make it simpler. This pinned issue on this repository is to make a single place to explain this (and also be referenced on other issues) for someone who do not want to read everything. Extra information could be added later, but for now:

Challenges for any project using only one language

  1. A single language can have more than one tag meaning different concepts
    • This is specially true for short tags

Challenges for a project to link tags from multiple languages

  1. One tag in a language can mean also the same concept on another language
    • This can be perceived as good (or at least not the worst case), since sometimes someone would want to search for content on different languages
    • This sometimes could lead people to "block" users or content producers, even when they are making relevant content
      • But, to be fair, we cant blame or force user to avoid use these tags.
    • Also, when a tag have the same meaning in a different language, even without automatic translation aid, the user maybe would be interested on that type of content
  2. One tag in a language can also means a different concept of A/IS Ethics on another language
    • This is one of the main reasons to make hard to make simpler

Challenges related to alphabets of the languages used on the tags

Note: considered (at time of this post) only Facebook | GitHub | Instagram | LinkedIn | Medium | Pinterest | Reddit | Twitter | Youtube platforms, and also not fully tested each one

The ideal scenario

  1. Most platforms will only play very nice on the most perfect scenario with only numbers 0-9 and lowercase letters (a-z)
    • Note: not fully tested, but some platforms are likely to not work perfect if a tag start with a number
  2. Most platforms will accept uppercase characters and interpret as if where lower case equivalents
  3. Some platforms also allows the dash characters -
    • Instagram is the example of one that does not work with dash.

Usage of accents on Latin alphabet

  1. Some platforms interpret a letter with accent as the same of one without (e.g. #joão\ meaning same as #Joao`. This is not consistent.

Usage of non-latin alphabets

Note: help need here!!!

Note on 2019-04-09 (creation of the issue): for now this issue does not have all challenges; this is just to start to make a central point about it.

See https://github.com/fititnt/ais-ethics-tags/issues/7#issuecomment-484356615. Good, maybe not perfect, but definitely we have something to scale up.
