Harnessing Folksonomies for Search
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper analyses folksonomies, an emergent web 2.0 technology. Folksonomies are found to be primarily a social dynamic phenomenon, and several key tensions are hypothesised that keep the folksonomy community vibrant. Strengths and weaknesses of folksonomies are analyzed w.r.t applicability to browsing and search, and suggestions are given on how to alleviate search problems by bringing in additional semantics into folksonomies, while trying to avoid upsetting the delicate social balances discovered.

This paper is a short introduction to our work on building and using folksonomies to facilitate communication between Semantic Web agents with disparate ontological representations. We brie y present the Semantic Matcher, a system that measures the semantic proximity between terms in interacting agents' ontologies at run-time, fully automatically and minimally: that is, only for semantic mismat...
متن کاملThe Automatic Integration of Folksonomies with Taxonomies Using Non-axiomatic Logic
Cooperative tagging systems such as folksonomies are powerful tools when used to annotate information resources. The inherent power of folksonomies is in their ability to allow casual users to easily contribute ad-hoc, yet meaningful, resource metadata without any specialist training. Folksonomies are becoming a popular ‘Web 2.0’ technology and are becoming more and more prevalent in education ...
