Inducing Ontology from Flickr Tags

. Proceedings of the Workshop on Collaborative Tagging at WWW2006, Edinburgh, Scotland, (May 2006)

Abstract

In this paper, we describe some promising initial results in inducing ontology from the Flickr tag vocabulary, using a subsumption-based model. We describe the utility of faceted ontology as a supplement to a tagging system and present our model and results. We propose a revised, probabilistic model using seed ontologies to induce faceted ontology, and describe how the model can integrate into the logistics of tagging communities.
