The Power of Hashtags in Social Media: Lessons Learnt from the Urology Tag Ontology Project

Jeremy Yuen-Chun Teoh et al. Eur Urol Focus. 2022 Nov.

Abstract

Standardisation of hashtags for urologic diseases in the Urology Tag Ontology (UTO) project has facilitated more efficient filtering of social media content. Hashtags must be recognisable and easy to understand. The UTO list should be expanded to include hashtags for urologic procedures and the hashtags could be used on social media platforms other than Twitter to reach a wider audience.
