To employ the system, you'll need to discard many conventional notions about how to store paper documents. Here's how it works: You need a set of A4 (letter)-sized envelopes and some way to mark the outside of the envelopes. If you want, you can color-code them with markers. Take every document and store it in an A4-sized envelope with the flaps cut off, as shown here. Mark the title and date of the document on the side of the envelope, as shown, and the envelopes are stored vertically on a bookshelf. Don't attempt to classify documents. Add any new document to the left end of the "envelope buffer. " Over time, some of the files on the right side of the shelf will be classified as "holy files" which you will retain indefinitely. When you need more space, throw away any documents that you consider "unnecessary.

Tagging in a Web 1.0 environment leads to a more efficient bookmarking, because interessting stuff can be categorized under several user defined topics.
This decreases the search effort in daily practice. But there occure several problems in tagging contents with undefined terms: Different terms with the same or similar meaning cannot be related to each other. The importance of these semantic relations cannot be found on a single user tagging system.
