Sneak Peek: Tagged Tanakh

“Just in time for the New Year! At long last, we can share with the world a taste of the Tagged Tanakh (TT) prototype!” JPS Interactive

A sneak peek at the Tagged Tanakh prototype

We spent the better half of 2009 working with JPS to develop the Tagged Tanakh prototype and at long last, we can give you a sneak peek.

The Tagged Tanakh prototype has a pretty healthy base of core functionality that we hope will compound under future development. The prototype allows users to interact with the English version of the Jewish Bible, by adding remarks, using tags to contextualize the relationships between their remarks and their selection from the Tanakh, respond to remarks left by other users and create custom feeds to follow the users and/or topics of interest to them. In addition, we have also developed a fairly intricate rank and moderation system, that will help users find discussions and topics that are relevant and of interest to them.

Social networking features, integration of third party data sets, Hebrew text, and the release of an API are all in the pipline and we’d love to get your first impressions. You can read more in our working case study.
