Abstract

Storing and retrieving tags can include determining a quantitative weighting factor for each tag, determining a reputation weighting factor for each tag, determining a context weighing factor for each tag, determining an expiry weighting factor for each tag, and determining, using a server, an overall weighting factor for each tag by calculating an average of the weighting factors. The relevance of each tag can be visually reflected in the tag cloud based on the overall weighting factor.
