Based on previous research positing that the interaction created by network participantsproduces an online public good of knowledge, the purpose of this empirical paper is to use theories of public goods and collectiveaction to investigate this provision of knowledge. While based on the same technology platform and a similar concept, we examinethree cases in different professions: education, healthcare, and tourism by examining how the 1) heterogeneity of the individuals,2) relational structure of social ties, 3) norms of behavior, 4) affective factors, and 5) sanctions for noncompliance impactthe creation of a public good. We find that the most successful effort to create an electronic network of practice was withineducation and that one contributing factor was the site's ability to leverage existing offline networks of practice to createa relational structure of stronger social ties between members. In summary, these results reveal that taking a unitary viewof the underlying collective masks possible heterogeneity along a number of important dimensions and as a result may underminethe likelihood that the public good is created and maintained.SpringerLink - Buchkapitelhttp://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2f852d7a909fa3edceb04abb7d2a20f71/patrickdpatrickd2007-04-17T15:32:58+02:000-student-shelaev 519 _unfiled annotation archive asc bibliography bookmark bookmarking bookmarks categorisation citation citations classification clustering colaborative collaborate collaboration collaborative collaborative-filtering collaborative-tagging collaborative_filtering collaborative_tagging collective commentary community computer-networks cooperation coordination core_periphery cscw datamining delicious digital dr_kim dynamic ecology emergence emergent eni ewa export farsi-media folksonomies folksonomy golder history huberman ict imt595 indexing information_organization interface learning leei library20 linguistics metadata model network_analysis networkdynamics networking networks newmedia no-tag ontology overview p2p patterns properties quantitative references research retrieve scale-free search self-organization semantics semiotics shelaev-project sigcr2006 social social-bookmarking social-netowrks social-network social-networking social-networks social-space social-tagging social_networks social_software socialbookmarking socialnets socialnetwork socialnetworking socialsearch socialsoftware socialtagging sociology software structure <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Golder">Scott Golder</a>, and <a href="/author/Huberman">Bernardo A.

Recently, collaborative tagging has grown in popularity on the web, on sites that allow users to tag bookmarks, photographs and other content. In this paper we analyze the structure of collaborative tagging systems as well as their dynamical aspects. Specifically, we discovered regularities in user activity, tag frequencies, kinds of tags used, bursts of popularity in bookmarking and a remarkable stability in the relative proportions of tags within a given url. We also present a dynamical model of collaborative tagging that predicts these stable patterns and relates them to imitation and shared knowledge.library2.0
