Integrating Folksonomies With Traditional Metadata
10 likes2,390 views
The document discusses integrating folksonomies with traditional metadata. It defines folksonomy as personal free tagging done socially and explains that folksonomies provide value by allowing people to use their own vocabularies and add explicit meaning. While taxonomies provide structure and efficiency, folksonomies are emergent, inexpensive, and continually validated. The document explores combining taxonomies and folksonomies by validating folksonomy tags and identifying gaps to fill with the taxonomy.
