Technical Folksonomy of Tagging Information

Tagging, Folksonomy & Co - Renaissance of Manual Indexing?

This paper gives an overview of current trends in manual indexing on the Web. Along with a general rise of user generated content there are more and more tagging systems that allow users to annotate digital resources with tags (keywords) and share their annotations with other users. Tagging is frequently seen in contrast to traditional knowledge organization systems or as something completely n...

Tagging, Folksonomy and Art Museums: Early Experiments and Ongoing Research

Tagging has proven attractive to art museums as a means of enhancing the indexing of online collections. This paper examines the state of the art in tagging within museums and introduces the steve.museum research project, and its study of tagging behaviour and the relationship of the resulting folksonomy to professionally created museum documentation. A variety of research questions are propose...

Investigating social tagging and folksonomy in art museums with steve.museum

Museums want audiences to engage with their collections and ideas, but recognize that traditional methods of unidirectional on-line and in-gallery communications have limited access and dialog. Supporting social tagging of museum collections, and providing access based on the resulting folksonomy, opens museum collections to new interpretations that reflect visitors’ perspectives rather than in...

Triple Tagging: Toward Bridging Folksonomy and Semantic Web

Collaborative tagging is increasingly drawing attention as a promising source of taxonomic information; it is often referred to as folksonomy. A tag is information that is added to a resource (such as pictures, a web page, or blog entries); a tag can be represented as an RDF statement. However, no explicit study has been undertaken to bridge the gap between annotated tags and RDF statements. Th...
