Folksonomy
InfoCloud Solutions, Inc. - 2007
❖ Folksonomy is the result of personal free tagging of pages and objects for one's own retrieval
❖ The tagging is usually done in a social environment (shared and open to others)
❖ The act of tagging is done by the person consuming the information
Folksonomy: Definition

The value in this external tagging is derived from people using their own vocabulary and adding explicit meaning, which may come from inferred understanding of the information/object.
Folksonomy: Value
The value in this external tagging is derived from people using their own vocabulary and adding explicit meaning
