Tagging in .NET

I'm wondering if anyone could help me in figuring out the architecture / database tables needed to implement tagging into my website. Users would be tagging their RSS feeds.

Are there any good articles that explain the architecture and tables necessart to implement this?

Thanks in advance.could you explain what you mean by "tagging"?

"implement tagging into my website"

"tagging their RSS feeds."

Whats this "tagging" ?


lol.. jinx Curt... i had my reply window open and stepped away for a bit before i finished my post
Thanks for your reply...

I thought that "tagging" is a fairly well know functionality in the internet world today. I guess I am wrong. Please let me explain...

Flickr.com - allows you to associate words to a photo, or...tag the photo with a descriptive word
http://del.icio.us/ - allows you to "tag" a link with a descriptive word or words.

In my case, I have RSS feeds that I would like to allow the users to "tag" or to associate a descriptive word or words to a feed.

Here is a great article that explains it in more detail. What Im looking to learn and implement is the architecture and datbase tables necessary to incorporate this into my website.

Thanks again.

So in short:

You are asking "why am I making this more complex than adding a simple 'description' column to a database table" ?

I seriously don't see all the confusing and over-thinking of adding one extra field onto your data table(s) for your users to add/edit/search-on
