You can tag arbitrary content on the web, you can do it in a low-tech way to make it easy for everyone to do...But...How do you find instances that people haven't tagged? Or deal with overlapping meme labels?

"They are built to be human-usable (...) are targeted primarily for storage/retrieval of personal information and serendipitous discovery of group information . (...) The development communities for each are abuzz with ideas for exploiting the structure"
Though I am excited by organic, individual tagging tools there are situations where introducing this can be problematic. Health information content, in particular, seems to be a strong candidate for more centralized, regulated classification and tagging..

The TagCommons Working Group is having a fascinating discussion about the mechanism by which a community can agree to share tag data. Here are some of the options before us:
TagCloud is an automated Folksonomy tool. Essentially, TagCloud searches any number of RSS feeds you specify, extracts keywords from the content and lists them according to prevalence within the RSS feeds.
"Xerox has a tool that helps automate the categorization process, but allows the engineer - the subject matter expert - to create his own categories dynamically in a way a machine-learning system could not."

"network is decentralized, with each node—be it a tag, individual, or object—able to connect to another within the system. What arises, when enacted on a large enough scale, is rhizomatic: multiple points of entry for multiple participants"
"(...) tagging system is not "controlled" in this sense (...), but I'm wondering whether its web-scale nature can provide some benefit that one would not expect."
Del.icio.us tags aren’t like meta keyword tags because of the Del.icio.us Lesson. Meta keyword tags provide no personal value whatsoever. All of their value is social. They’re for aggregation engines to find and tell other people about. In other words

Eingehender Vergleich der BM-Tools, Fokus auf akademsichen Nutzern. "In many ways these new tools resemble blogs stripped down to the bare essentials. Here the essential unit of information is a link, not a story"
"by letting users tag (...), we're (building) systems that, like the Web itself, do a better job of letting individuals create value for one another, often without realizing it."
"(...) analyzes folksonomy metadata for hierarchal semantic relationships via a content analysis of approximately 2000 folksonomy tags in over 600 individual entries. (...) The results indicate that hierarchical relationships are part of Folksonomies."
"(...) has the most power and value in vertical search-style app.s, where a community of experts contributes to a pool of content that is then rated by other experts, assuring that the best available content is recognized and becomes readily available."
Classical knowledge representation methods traditionally work with established relations such as synonymy, hierarchy and unspecified associations. Recent developments like
ontologies and folksonomies show new forms of collaboration, indexing and knowledge representation and encourage the reconsideration of standard knowledge relationships. In a
summarizing overview we show which relations are currently utilized in elaborated knowledge representation methods and which may be inherently hidden in folksonomies and ontologies.
Catalogers have always had to balance adherence to cataloging rules and authority files with creating cataloging that is current and relevant to users. That dilemma has been complicated in new ways because of user demands in the world of Web 2.0. Standardized cataloging is crucial for communication between computer systems, but patrons now have an expectation of social interaction on the Internet, as evidenced by the popularity of folksonomy. After a description of traditional subject cataloging and folksonomy, this article discusses several institutions where subject cataloging is still used, but where patron interaction is also encouraged. User-generated tags can coexist with controlled vocabulary such as subject headings.
"TagOntology is about identifying and formalizing a conceptualization of the activity of tagging, and building technology that commits to the ontology at the semantic level."
" (...) less than 1% of queries even use more than a single tag. (...) Tagging is mostly (...) a way for people to recall things, what they were thinking about when they saved it. Fairly useful for recall, OK for discovery, terrible for distribution (...)
