Tagging Selected Outputs in Esploro
1.0 Proposal to tag or highlight selected outputs
We would like to explore the possibility of “tagging” (or similar demarcation) selected outputs in Esploro to differentiate / highlight them.
This tagging will be additional to the current search / refine options (such as Research Unit or Subject).
All forms of outputs (articles, data sets etc) should be eligible for tagging.
For example, we may want to “tag” Covid-19 research papers and data, or other key research on particular themes or goals.
Ideally, there should also be an option of sub-tagging eg. a main tag, and a sub-tag (ie. the option of a tag hierarchy)
(For example. Tag: Research Themes – identifies that the paper belongs to one of our core research themes
Sub-Tag: Digital Economy – identifies which research theme the paper belongs to)
2.0 How tagged items should function
Initially, we would like to explore how these tagged items should be visible / share-able in three ways:
2.1 The tagged items should be added as an option to the Refine Results
2.2 We would like the option to add a button (s) to the front page of the repository to enable users to navigate directly to the tagged outputs (eg a “Covid-19” button).
2.3 These options should enable us to create a URL direct to these tagged options to enable users to go directly to these tagged outputs from other webpages.
3.0 How will the outputs be tagged?
We would like to explore two routes to tagging selected outputs:
3.1 By periodic, retrospective mass-tagging
As we have the DOIs of the outputs to be tagged, could we (the Library) conduct a retrospective, periodic “mass-tagging” / upload / similar (say, every 3 months) in which the outputs to be tagged are tagged in-bulk (by matching DOIs).
3.2 When outputs are entered onto Esploro
There should also be an option to tag an output at the point of upload / record creation in Esploro

Dear Colleagues,
Today in Esploro we have 2 options to tag outputs as mentioned:
1. Using Topics and Keywords - These can be used as a facet to refine search results.
2. Collections of output - can be given a name and a short description and featured on the homepage.
If this covers your suggestion, I would suggest closing this idea and using the points to vote for other ideas.
I would like to hear what you are still missing if it is only partially covered.
