@techreport{heymann_2006, abstract = {Collaborative tagging systems---systems where many casual users annotate objects with free-form strings (tags) of their choosing---have recently emerged as a powerful way to label and organize large collections of data. During our recent investigation into these types of systems, we discovered a simple but remarkably effective algorithm for converting a large corpus of tags annotating objects in a tagging system into a navigable hierarchical taxonomy of tags. We first discuss the algorithm and then present a preliminary model to explain why it is so effective in these types of systems.}, added-at = {2009-09-13T14:25:53.000+0200}, author = {Heymann, Paul and Garcia-Molina, Hector}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/23b4ce6fd7fa6dbf1c39fd261fa39fcd6/tobold}, citeulike-article-id = {739394}, description = {KDubiq Blueprint}, institution = {Computer Science Department, Stanford University}, interhash = {d77846b40aadb0e25233cabf905bb93e}, intrahash = {3b4ce6fd7fa6dbf1c39fd261fa39fcd6}, keywords = {sota_chi10_2 tagging taxonomy}, month = {April}, number = {2006--10}, priority = {3}, timestamp = {2009-09-13T14:25:53.000+0200}, title = {{C}ollaborative {C}reation of {C}ommunal {H}ierarchical {T}axonomies in {S}ocial {T}agging {S}ystems}, url = {http://ilpubs.stanford.edu:8090/775/1/2006-10.pdf}, urlxxx = {http://dbpubs.stanford.edu:8090/pub/2006--10}, year = 2006 }
