Folksonomies permit actors to describe documents with subject headings, “tags“, without regarding any rules. Apart from a lot of benefits folksonomies have many shortcomings (e.g., lack of precision). In order to solve some of the problems we propose interpreting tags as natural language terms. Accordingly, we can introduce methods of NLP to solve the tags’ linguistic problems. Additionally, we present criteria for tagged documents to create a ranking by relevance (tag distribution, collaboration and actor-based aspects). Besides recommending similar documents („more like this!“) olksonomies can be used for the recommendation of similar users and communities („more like me!“).
