Selbst vergebene Schlagwörter, Tags, können Internet-Nutzern dabei helfen, Informationen im Web zu ordnen und wiederzufinden. Miteinander verknüpft ergeben die Schlagwörter ein kollektives Begriffsnetzwerk. Informatikern der TU Graz ist es gelungen, einen Lösungsansatz für die Verlinkung dieser Daten zu entwickeln. ORF.at sprach mit dem Wissensmanagement-Experten Markus Strohmaier über Tagging und wie Internet-Nutzer damit ein "intelligenteres" Web schaffen können.
Collaborative Tagging as a Knowledge Organisation and Resource Discovery Tool
Macgregor, George and McCulloch, Emma (2006) Collaborative Tagging as a Knowledge Organisation and Resource Discovery Tool.
Collaborative tagging describes the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content. Recently, collaborative tagging has grown in popularity on the web, on sites that allow users to tag bookmarks, photographs and other content. In this paper we analyze the structure of collaborative tagging systems as well as their dynamical aspects. Specifically, 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 tagging that predicts these stable patterns and relates them to imitation and shared knowledge.
