"They are built to be human-usable (...) are targeted primarily for storage/retrieval of personal information and serendipitous discovery of group information . (...) The development communities for each are abuzz with ideas for exploiting the structure"
OntoSelect monitors the web to provide an access point for ontologies on any possible topic or domain that is automatically updated, organized in a meaningful way and with support for ontology search and selection. Selected ontologies may be used for ins
Discussion of flaws and potential solutions to using social bookmarking sites (from del.icio.us to digg) as folks monetize, abuse, trick, and tweak them: no uniform tagging conventions, flat tag structures (non-relational), overly-generalized tags (catego
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
Annotea is a W3C Semantic Web Advanced Development project that provides a framework for rich communication about Web pages through shared RDF metadata. An RDF model of bookmark classification permits multiple classification systems to be related to each
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

Automatic semantic annotation of information content is an open problem, but is crucial to the realization of the Semantic Web. Annotation systems require the initial definition of an ontology and as well as a knowledge base. Both of these resources work
I’m a bit of a Saussurean about this, in that I think that taxonomy (or ontology, depending upon your disciplinary point of origin) is crystallised/calcified folksonomy....Crystallised and calcified...one has connotations of order, beauty, and value; th
The goal of this ontology is to model the relationship between an agent, an arbitrary resource, and one or more tags. This relationship is embodied in one or more taggings, which are temporal events associating the actors.
