'bottom-up' (or personal) approach

Ontology is a good way to organize objects, [...], but it is a terrible way to organize ideas, and in the period between the invention of the printing press and the invention of the symlink, we were forced to optimize for the storage and retrieval of objects, not ideas."

tagging of tags
-
folksonomy data is much noisier but also more flexible, more abundant and far cheaper. Bear in mind also that the terms used are, by definition, the very terms that real users might be expected to use in future when searching for this information.

Indeed, the whole social tagging approach bears more than a passing resemblance to Google's PageRank algorithm [27].

"Flickr and del.icio.us work so well for me not because they aggregate the world's tags, but because they allow me to aggregate my social network's tags, links, and photos. [...] I don't want to see "research" resources from a molecular biologist, but I do want to see them from a sociologist studying online social networks."

The short answer to this is that social bookmarking tools, as with the Web at large, usually pay users back many times over in utility for whatever privacy they may have surrendered. But if absolute privacy is important, then it's certainly best to stay away from these tools (and, indeed, possibly the Web as a whole).

deirdre robsonDetailed history of devpt tagging and review of various social bookmarking sites. NVU theoretically.

To anyone familiar with top-down classification schemes, this approach could look like a fearful muddle. But this doesn't mean that it is without value – after all, the Web itself appears from the outside as a somewhat messy affair (almost its defining characteristic). Rather, this is an altogether different – and, we would argue, complementary – form of classification. Compared to the traditional top-down approach, folksonomy data is much noisier but also more flexible, more abundant and far cheaper. Bear in mind also that the terms used are, by definition, the very terms that real users might be expected to use in future when searching for this information. As Clay Shirky has pointed out [26], folksonomies move us from a 'binary' in-or-out classification system to an 'analogue' one in which items can exist in multiple categories, each weighted by relative popularity. When it comes to ranking by relevance (as opposed to merely identifying potentially relevant resources), this kind of data might actually be more useful than a much smaller number of tightly controlled keywords. Indeed, the whole social tagging approach bears more than a passing resemblance to Google's PageRank algorithm [27].

Wikipedia [14], the free encyclopedia, with user-generated content produced at a fraction of the cost of more established publishers and at an unparalleled speed of delivery (sometimes extending to almost real-time updates), is just such another successful, self-regulating system

some systems (Flickr [25], especially) show a strong bias towards English language tags

Another important aspect on the social axis is user privacy
