* with term_node.uid, you're able to store two pieces of information: the user who originally created the node (node.uid), and the user that is asserting tids associated with the node. this stops data duplication, but also opens up the folksonomy to allow all users to assert something about anything, whether they created it or not.
I've been shying away from this because it introduces a whole new set of issues that I don't think the community of folksonomy commentators have really addressed yet. (grin). In a wiki style I can quite imagine a group of people editing the node terms but to make that really work, you need to keep a history so changes can be undone. If you let anyone tag a node, then I think you get into areas where some people like "Author" count for more than other "commentators". There again maybe there's no problem here. Get the data-model right and the solution may just fall out. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: julian.bond at voidstar.com Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 S: callto://julian.bond/
