Die neue, internetbasierte Informationswelt stellt nicht nur an die „digital immigrants" große Herausforderungen. Auch Institutionen mit Tradition müssen sich selbst neu erfinden – zumal wenn, wie bei Bibliotheken der Fall, der von ihnen behandelte „Rohstoff" schon immer Information und Wissen waren.
"The future co-existence of controlled vocabularies and collaborative tagging is predicted, with each appropriate for use within distinct information contexts: formal and informal."
"(...) 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."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"Of particular interest are its application to categorizing content in developing fields, and allowing the navigation of content sets by browsing. (...) social aspects and implications of these community-created systems are also of great significance"
"we discovered regularities in user activity, tag frequencies, kinds of tags used, bursts of popularity in bookmarking and a remarkable stability in the relative proportions of tags within a given url. We also present a dynamical model of collaborative ta
"Despite its intrinsic anarchist nature, the dynamics of this terminology system spontaneously leads to patterns of terminology common to the whole community or to subgroups of it."
"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."
"a short introduction to what distributed classification systems allow you to do with tags, and how to generate tags to maximize the social value of these systems."
Folksonomies könnten ähnlich wie natürliche Sprachen wachsen, sich verändern und sich verbreiten. Die Tagger sollten sich höchtens locker an einigen wenigen, einfachen Konventionen orientieren.
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"
"with their ability to let users do most of the organizational work of the information on a web site, they may yet prove to be a valuable (..) way for information architects to keep a handle on the addition of information into an already-burdened architec
"tagging eliminates the decision - (choosing the right category), and takes away the analysis-paralysis stage (...) it provides immediate self and social feedback (...) it taps into an existing cognitive process without adding add much cognitive cost"
"we have to (...) merge and leverage emerging and traditional tools to improve findability. (...) at the intersection of those two models is a more powerful framework for identifying, sharing, and finding information. The goal is a metadata ecology"
"(...) 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."
Tag Systems "are supremely responsive to user needs and vocabularies (...). (T)ransforming the creation of explicit metadata for resources from an isolated, professional activity into a shared, communicative activity by users is an important development"
"Folksonomy (...) refers to the collaborative but unsophisticated way in which information is being categorized on the web. (...) users are encouraged to assign freely chosen keywords (called tags) to pieces of information or data, a process known as tagg
"Could the order of tags be a general solution for hierarchical tagging? It would be similar to relations between words within sentences or to the order of folders in a directory and without enforcing a structure."
This article describes the experience of using a Wiki tool to support note-taking in discussion groups at a recent joint UCISA/UKOLN workshop and describes one potential role for Wiki software.
"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"
"This presentation explores the results of the lexical analysis of various tag collections (...). What can we learn from human-generated metadata to help make automatically-generated metadata more usable, correct, efficient, and most importantly, humane?"
Folks. "promote exploration and learning as users browse related topics, tags, and users. (...) users have the opportunity to locate new resources that they might not ever have come across through searching."
"Tagging works because it strikes a balance between the individual and social. It serves the individual motive of remembering, and forms a ad-hoc social groups around it."
