Extreme Tagging: Emergent Semantics through the Tagging of Tags
V. Tanasescu, and O. Streibel. Proceedings of the International Workshop on Emergent Semantics and
Ontology Evolution (ESOE2007) at ISWC/ASWC2007, Busan, South Korea, (November 2007)
Abstract
While the Semantic Web requires a large amount of structured knowledge
(triples) to allow machine reasoning, the acquisition of this knowledge
still represents an open issue. 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.
