Indeed, expressing expert knowledge in a given formalism is a tedious process. Less structured annotations such as tagging have, however, proved immensely popular, whilst existing unstructured or semi-structured collaborative knowledge bases such as Wikipedia have proven to be useful and scalable. Both processes are often regulated through social mechanisms such as wiki-like operations, recommendations, ratings, and collaborative games. To promote collaborative tagging as a means to acquire unstructured as well as structured knowledge we introduce the notion of Extreme Tagging, which describes systems which allow the tagging of resources, as well as of tags themselves and their relations. We provide a formal description of extreme tagging followed by examples and highlight the necessity of regulatory processes which can be applied to it. We also present a prototype implementation.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2be157f676d0e97182dbd1f74237ad5b7/iswc2007}, keywords = {iswc workshop_esoe extreme 2007 semantics tagging tag emergent} } @inproceedings{Yeung/2007/Understanding, title = {Understanding the Semantics of Ambiguous Tags in Folksonomies}, author = {Ching Man Au Yeung and Nicholas Gibbins and Nigel Shadbolt}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Workshop on Emergent Semantics and Ontology Evolution (ESOE2007) at ISWC/ASWC2007, Busan, South Korea}, crossref = {http://data.semanticweb.org/workshop/esoe/2007/proceedings}, editor = {Peter Haase and Andreas Hotho and Luke Chen and Ernie Ong and Philippe Cudre Mauroux}, month = {November}, year = 2007, abstract = {The use of tags to describe Web resources in a collaborative manner has experienced rising popularity among Web users in recent years. The product of such activity is given the name folksonomy, which can be considered as a scheme of organizing information in the users' own way. In this paper, we present a possible way to analyze the tripartite graphs - graphs involving users, tags and resources - of folksonomies and discuss how these elements acquire their meanings through their associations with other elements, a process we call mutual contextualization. In particular, we demonstrate how different meanings of ambiguous tags can be discovered through such analysis of the tripartite graph by studying the tag sf. We also discuss how the result can be used as a basis to better understand the nature of folksonomies.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cf35455c816a74dbfa4ddd5840bf19d6/iswc2007}, keywords = {iswc workshop_esoe 2007 semantics tag understanding folksonomy ambiguous} }
