Should verb tags become gerunds?

I see that publishing future-proofing imaging and similar verb tags end in "ing" to make the action a noun. (Not counting verb tags with established noun forms like data-curation corruption organization.)

• Should digitize, which refers to the action, rename to digitizing (or digitization)?
• Should archive (the action) → archiving?
• And so on

Yes. I'd also suggest changing "archive-format" to "archival-format" and "out-of-date-format" to "obsolete-format". A bit of maintenance of tags early on should help these to develop in a sensible way. Is there anyone with the authority to do this yet?
