Abstract

We explore the idea of tagging people for selective information sharing in the context of a social-personal information management (SPIM) system. Each new tag applied to a person has a distinctly specifiable visibility, and people tagged with the same key word form a relationship group that can be used as an access control option for each piece of information. We introduce the idea and motivation behind people-tagging, describe a research implementation we have created to experiment with the concept, and provide a preliminary discussion of potential usage and directions for future work.
