I've got a Pocket bookmark repo with ~15K articles in it. I'm reasonably disciplined about tagging each saved article, but am swimming in tags (~1200). I'm attempting to organize the tags offline using pencil & paper (doing it in a code editor isn't cutting it.). Pocket attempts to streamline things but their UI leaves a lot to be desired - and is platform dependent.<p>It's a laborious but interesting exercise - the paper taxonomy looks like it will have 50-100 top-level topics with 10-30 subtopics under each.<p>- Some are concatenations (jobdefs-career-work, fun-humor).
- Some have multiple meanings (attention/behavior & attention/LLMs).
- Some are being renamed as I go. (chat -> chatgpt)<p>Once complete I'll try matching this list with another pulled from my personal Jekyll site.<p>I looked at 1-2 online taxonomy tools before embarking on this sacred quest. Does this community have a favorite tool, for this type of job-to-be-done?
Did you try ChatGPT? It may also assist you in the matching.<p>As a visual helper, you could also chart the 1K tags as embeddings in a 2D graph [1]<p>My setup when manually working on this is a split-screen outliner (filter, drag&drop...).<p>Once the taxonomy is done, I assume you will not be able to reflect those levels back in pocket ? I just see a flat list of tags there.<p>[1] <a href="https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/visualizing_embeddings_in_2d" rel="nofollow">https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/visualizing_embeddings_...</a>
