Abstract: Due to the great diversity and rich connotation of national costume patterns, it’s super challenging to come up with a scientific and standard semantic-tag system. This paper proposes a semantic-tag system based on the folk classification model. Firstly, this is a hierarchical tagging system. Secondly, professional and public annotations are added into this system based on the folk classification model, which not only reflects the collaboration concept for tag system, but also enhances the professionality of tags. At last, this paper annotates the Phoenix pattern from Zhuang by the newly-created tag system, and makes an analysis and comparison in terms of the practicability and progressiveness of tag systems.

Key words: national costume pattern, semantic-tag, kernel-tag, professional-tag, public-tag
