Community-Portale bieten immer häufiger kollaborative Tagging-Systeme zur zusätzlichen Auszeichnung ihrer Informationen an. Damit etabliert sich gerade ein neues Interface-Element, das das Potenzial zu einem erweiterten Umgang mit den Daten der digitalen Welt an sich hat. Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit den interaktiven Aspekten des Taggings, sowie mit der semantischen Ebene in Abgrenzung zum etablierten Wissensbegriff.

This page is a static permanent web document. It has been written to provide a place to cite the coinage of folksonomy. This is response the request from many in the academic community to document the circumstances and date of the creation of the term folksonomy. The definition at creation is also part of this document. This document pulls together bits of conversations and ideas I wrote regarding folksonomy on listserves, e-mail, in my blogs and in blog comments on other's sites in 2004.

Ontologies are enabling technology for the Semantic Web. They are a means for people to state what they mean by the terms used in data that they might generate, share, or consume. Folksonomies are an emergent phenomenon of the Social Web. They arise from data about how people associate terms with content that they generate, share, or consume. Recently the two ideas have been put into opposition, as if they were right and left poles of a political spectrum. This is a false dichotomy; they are more like apples and oranges. In fact, as the Semantic Web matures and the Social Web grows, there is increasing value in applying Semantic Web technologies to the data of the Social Web. This article is an attempt to clarify the distinct roles for ontologies and folksonomies, and previews some new work that applies the two ideas together - an ontology of folksonomy.
