There is a good thread to read on flickr about <i>machine-tags</i> that you can read here ~ <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157594497877875/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157594497877875/</a><p>Using rdf you can represent tags as <i>"foo:bar=foobar"</i>. So your use is really only limited by the limitations of the format itself.
