In this paper, we investigate the integration of a movies folksonomy with a semantic knowledge base about user-movie rentals. The folksonomy is used to enrich the knowledge base with descriptions and categorisations of movie titles, and user interests and opinions. Using tags harvested from the Internet Movie Database, and movie rating data gathered by Netflix, we perform experiments to investigate the question that folksonomy-generated movie tag-clouds can be used to construct better user profiles that reflect a user’s level of interest in different kinds of movies, and therefore, provide a basis for prediction of their rating for a previously unseen movie.Thu May 29 08:57:46 CEST 2008Convergence2199-211{The Format Wars: Drawing the Battle Lines for the Next DVD}132007lv_crossmedia movies apple Soon the DVD format will celebrate its tenth anniversary in the consumer electronics market.
