"How great would it be if, while you were reading a book, you could have a graphical representation of the places talked about?" You might be interested in Revish, where you can do just that right now. Here are a couple of examples: http://www.revish.com/books/0385606435/ http://www.revish.com/books/0395193958/ The site pulls photos from Flickr which are machine tagged with the book's ISBN. There are more details on the Revish blog at: http://blog.revish.com/2007/04/machine_tags_flickr_photos_and.html

Mike, glad to read you saying that, as I was just thinking something similar about Dublin Core and Flickr machine tags this morning. So if that is a crazy idea, at least there are two of us who are crazy.

What excites me about machine tags is the combination of formal classification with the collaborative power of community tagging. Imagine the power of a tag like “MARC:650=”Cats — Fiction.”" This could be the beginning of something big.
