Part of the allure of classifying things by assigning tags to them is that the user can give free reign to sloppiness. There is no authority —human or computational— passing judgment on the appropriateness or validity of tags, because tags have to mak
Let's explore how the lower cognitive cost of tagging makes it popular...From my first encounter with tagging (on systems such as del.icio.us & flickr), I could feel how easy it was to tag. But it took me a while to understand the cognitive processes at w
Ein englischer Text von Adam Mathes mit den Themen:The Creation of Metadata, Tagging Content in Del.icio.us and Flickr, From Tags to Folksonomy, Why Folksonomies Work and Areas For Further Research
TagCloud is an automated Folksonomy tool. Essentially, TagCloud searches any number of RSS feeds you specify, extracts keywords from the content and lists them according to prevalence within the RSS feeds.
Folksonomic Flaws?...In this article we look at what makes folksonomies work...We begin by looking at the issue of "sloppy tags", a problem to which critics of folksonomies are keen to allude, and ask if there are ways the folksonomy community could offse
Real life data needs are never semantically pure. Users need to browse their data in different ways. Hierarchies are too hard to reorganize on a whim. Stuff I need access to DOES NOT HAPPEN TO EQUAL the stuff at the top of the tree: Hierarchies are bad a
"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 ta
"with their ability to let users do most of the organizational work of the information on a web site, they may yet prove to be a valuable (..) way for information architects to keep a handle on the addition of information into an already-burdened architec
"Xerox has a tool that helps automate the categorization process, but allows the engineer - the subject matter expert - to create his own categories dynamically in a way a machine-learning system could not."
