The Tagged Tanakh (TT) is a collaborative platform that enables users to search and sort through the Hebrew Bible and JPS translation. With the Masoretic text as the base data set, the JPS translation(s) would be the first layer of content wrapped around the data. Commentaries and user-generated-content (UGC) would then be layered around the core text. The TT will employ a taxonomy derived from scholars cross-pollinated with a folksonomy created by general users. The entire data-set created by this coordinated mass effort will be stored in a format (XML) that allows the content to be repurposed and redistributed through a variety of channels (API, granular downloads, RSS) in addition to enabling other data-sets to “mash-up” with the TT.
