"(...) analyzes folksonomy metadata for hierarchal semantic relationships via a content analysis of approximately 2000 folksonomy tags in over 600 individual entries. (...) The results indicate that hierarchical relationships are part of Folksonomies."
"This study surveyed the folksonomy as a complex network. The result indicates that the network, which is composed of the tags from the folksonomy, displays both properties of small world and scale-free."
"If I get my friends to use Flickr, it gets better for me and for them. (...) Latest things matter. There are lots of interesting slices that can be taken. Slice by user, time, tags, location, relationship to other tags, "interestingness"."
"a blog dedicated to folksonomies and reflections on the social tagging paradigm (...) I'm currently an LIS postgraduate, studying and working in London, UK. (...) Nick Woolley" - With bibliography on folksonomies!
"My guess is that federation across tag spaces will be accomplished by aggregators and search engines. When the subject is avian flu, they'll enable you to compare the resources cited by nonspecialists with those cited by various kinds of specialists (...
"Tagging in and of its self is a helpful step up from no tagging, but is no where near as beneficial as opening the tagging to all. Folksonomy tagging can provide connections across cultures and disciplines (...)"
"In folksonomies (...) we get to discover content based on who is tagging it. This is powerful because now we can judge content in terms of who (...), and not just how relevant it might be to some algorithm that doesn’t take into account who-knows-who."
"Tagging works because it strikes a balance between the individual and social. It serves the individual motive of remembering, and forms a ad-hoc social groups around it."
Folks. "promote exploration and learning as users browse related topics, tags, and users. (...) users have the opportunity to locate new resources that they might not ever have come across through searching."
"This presentation explores the results of the lexical analysis of various tag collections (...). What can we learn from human-generated metadata to help make automatically-generated metadata more usable, correct, efficient, and most importantly, humane?"
"network is decentralized, with each node—be it a tag, individual, or object—able to connect to another within the system. What arises, when enacted on a large enough scale, is rhizomatic: multiple points of entry for multiple participants"
This article describes the experience of using a Wiki tool to support note-taking in discussion groups at a recent joint UCISA/UKOLN workshop and describes one potential role for Wiki software.
"Could the order of tags be a general solution for hierarchical tagging? It would be similar to relations between words within sentences or to the order of folders in a directory and without enforcing a structure."
"Folksonomy (...) refers to the collaborative but unsophisticated way in which information is being categorized on the web. (...) users are encouraged to assign freely chosen keywords (called tags) to pieces of information or data, a process known as tagg
