About the Book
The European Union and the United Kingdom have 282 large regions and 1357 small regions where independent and citizen journalists and the people gather news and report about it on social media platforms. They do this in over 80 different languages.
On November 6, 2024 Elon Musk wrote on X: "News should come from the people. From those actually on the scene and those who actually are subject-matter experts."
Hashtags are a powerful tool to share, search and engage with content, also when this content is in different languages. Simply click on a hashtag and posts in French, in Danish or any other language may pop-up.
#tagcoding means that one uses standardized hashtags to relate online information to specific topics in order to structure it and retrieve it easily.
Besides explaining the utility and practice of #tagcoding, the main contribution of this e-book is the provision of standardized hashtags for all large and small regions of the European Union and the United Kingdom.
In addition it lists hashtags for economic activities, functions of government, sustainable development goals and targets, products and services, and the languages of the European Union.
By using in-document links, the e-book supports easy navigation throughout the presented hierarchical classifications. Simple search of a term in an e-reader delivers the standard-based hashtag which you can add to your post or article.
The proposition of #tagcoding is that small changes in using social media and the internet, when done collaboratively and at scale, will accelerate knowledge localization and retrieval for instruction, economic and social development. For languages that are less used on the internet, it will help overcoming the digital divide.
