See full text

A method for managing tags in a tag cloud may include receiving a tag for an object and comparing the tag to existing tags for the object. The comparing may include determining if there is a relationship between the tag and any of the existing tags. The method may also include adding the tag to the tag cloud in response to there being no relationship between the tag and any of the existing tags. The method may additionally include selecting one tag of the existing tags in response to the tag and the one tag being related tags. The method may further include presenting the related tags in the tag cloud. Presenting the related tags in the tag cloud may include at least one of modifying the one tag in the tag cloud, indicating the tags are related, and combining the related tags into a single tag.
