We present an approachfor making explicit the semantics behind the tag space in social tagging systems, so that this collaborative organizationcan emerge in the form of groups of concepts and partial ontologies. This is achieved by using a combination of shallow pre-processingstrategies and statistical techniques together with knowledge provided by ontologies available on the semantic web. Preliminaryresults on the del.icio.us and Flickr tag sets show that the approach is very promising: it generates clusters with highlyrelated tags corresponding to concepts in ontologies and meaningful relationships among subsets of these tags can be identified.
