Keywords made up of multiple words

[JeffreyR]

It would be nice if keywords could be made up of multiple words. For example, "Delivery Note" would count as 1 keyword not 2.

www.delicious.com have recently implemented a similar feature in their social bookmarking service.

Thanks,

For that, we propose use "_" Delivery Note is transformed to Delivery_Note.

We could implementing this kind of feature, but then you could not entry several keyword at same time, separated by spaces. Some features have advantages and others not ... seems this feature could be a problem.

I think the best solution is actual implementation with "_", really here we're talking about SKOS ( simple knowledge organization system ) based on word. Normally a concept should be a simple word, but in cases a concept be multiple word, more similar than a phrase I suggest manually add "_". Probably visually not be so good as spaces ... but it's the same idea, runs correctly and allows entry multiple words separated by spaces at same time.

If you allowed for multiple word keywords, it could still be possible to have several keywords attributed to a file. If you have a look at the system used by www.delicious.com, they seperate keywords made up of multiple words by using the comma as a seperator.

Nonetheless, the solution you suggestion (of using the underscore '_') is a good enough substitute. Thank you for the suggestion.

I've added coma separator feature as you suggest in our roadmap http://issues.openkm.com/view.php?id=1930 I think it's easy to be implemented. But I must study how will be stored in DBMS ( that will be major change ).
