Tagging with electronic labbooks

Just to tie up and create some thoughts with the existing work with tagging an the electronic lab book the notes taken from the paper Skidmore (1998) and the collaborative investigation work on lab books.

The ViNE project provides scientists with a web-based equivalent of a traditional paper notebook extended with support for notebook sharing, security, and computational tool access and management, the paper identifies several enhancements for future development

- a framework for integrating editors appropriate to a variety of data content, allowing
users to directly manipulate images, data, and text without leaving ViNE.

- For the scientist with very large amounts of data, we will provide more sophisticated ways to organize it,

A general issue which needs to be considered is how such a design could allow for full integration within OMERO as well the above points and the additional points to be added that will arise from the future work
