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 effectiveness of our approach.
