Semantic Halo for Collaboration Tagging Systems

, , and . Workshop on the Social Navigation and Community based Adaptation Technologies, (2006)

Abstract

Collaborative tagging systems allow many users to add key- words (tags) to community-shared data items. Recently, collaborative tagging systems, also known as folksonomies, are growing on the web allowing people to annotate content, and then query by submitting key- words or tags. In this paper we dene aSemantic Halo, as a set of ad- ditional information that can be provided from tagging systems to end users when retrieving user-relevant documents. We analyze the semantic aspects of tagging and provide an algorithm for computing theSemantic Haloof tags. Finally, we show some preliminary results that demonstrate the eectiveness of our approach.
