About Climate Tagger
From the official readme · v1.0.3Description
The Climate Tagger Plugin for WordPress is a simple, FREE and easy-to-use way to
integrate the well-known Climate Tagger API into your WordPress site. The
Climate Tagger API has been helping knowledge-driven web
sites better catalogue, categorize, contextualize and connect their data with
that from the broader climate knowledge community since 2011. The Climate Tagger
is backed by an expansive Climate Compatible Development Thesaurus, developed by
experts in multiple fields and continuously updated to remain current.
The tags suggested by the Climate Tagger are displayed in a word cloud, with the
most relevant tags appearing larger.
The plugin is based on Thoth’s Suggested
Tags. More information
about the Climate Tagger is available at
