We demonstrate the application of this representation by showing how community-based semantics emerges from this model through a process of graph transformation. We illustrate ontology emergence by two case studies, an analysis of a large scale folksonomy system and a novel method for the extraction of community-based ontologies from Web pages.}, ee = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11574620_38}, doi = {10.1007/11574620_38}, owner = {mlux}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}, timestamp = {2006.01.19}, keywords = {folksonomies ontologies socialsoftware web2.0 } }
