" (...) 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 (...)
"controlled vocabularies often miss out on input from content authors and become rigid (...); folksonomies will begin to break down for the reasons mentioned above. Treating them as major parts of a single metada ecology might expose a useful symbiosis"
"Version 1.5 of this powerful wiki is readily available for easy installation in Ubuntu 6.04. Some of the major new features of MoinMoin 1.5 include a GUI wiki page editor and the ability to render a wiki page as DocBook XML."
"Sybilla Poortman en Gerard Bierens (...) nemen de nieuwe 'sociale' tools onder de loep met aandacht voor toepassingsmogelijkheden in de bibliotheekomgeving. En ook: folksonomy versus taxonomie, samen door één deur (...)?"
"(...) 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."
"This study surveyed the folksonomy as a complex network. The result indicates that the network, which is composed of the tags from the folksonomy, displays both properties of small world and scale-free."
"If I get my friends to use Flickr, it gets better for me and for them. (...) Latest things matter. There are lots of interesting slices that can be taken. Slice by user, time, tags, location, relationship to other tags, "interestingness"."
"a blog dedicated to folksonomies and reflections on the social tagging paradigm (...) I'm currently an LIS postgraduate, studying and working in London, UK. (...) Nick Woolley" - With bibliography on folksonomies!
"My guess is that federation across tag spaces will be accomplished by aggregators and search engines. When the subject is avian flu, they'll enable you to compare the resources cited by nonspecialists with those cited by various kinds of specialists (...
"Tagging in and of its self is a helpful step up from no tagging, but is no where near as beneficial as opening the tagging to all. Folksonomy tagging can provide connections across cultures and disciplines (...)"
"In folksonomies (...) we get to discover content based on who is tagging it. This is powerful because now we can judge content in terms of who (...), and not just how relevant it might be to some algorithm that doesn’t take into account who-knows-who."
