The attack on "ontology" is really an attack on top down categorization as a way of finding and organizing information, and the praise for folksonomy is really the observation that we now have an entirely new source of data for finding and organizing information: user participation. For the task of finding information, taxonomies are too rigid and purely text-based search is too weak. Tags introduce distributed human intelligence into the system. As others have pointed out, Google's revolution in search quality began when it incorporated a measure of "popular" acclaim -- the hyperlink -- as evidence that a page ought to be associated with a query. When the early webmasters were manually creating directories of interesting sites relevant to their interests, they were implicitly "voting with their links." Today, as the adopters of tagging systems enthusiastically label their bookmarks and photos, they are implicitly voting with their tags. This is, indeed, "radical" in the political sense, and clearly a source of power to exploit.

, tagging is a widespread phenomenon popularized by applications such as social bookmarking (Del.icio.us) and social photo sharing (Flickr)
-
tagging helps to counter the spam-induced noise in search engines, and for photo sharing, tagging gives those text-based search engines a fighting chance.
-
Folksonomies are massively dimensional (one dimension per potential term, as in full-text indexing), and there is no global consistency imposed by current practice.
-
The problem is that the blog, like much of the popular writing on ontology, confuses ontology-as-specified-conceptualization with a very narrow form of specification (the taxonomic classification) and a very specific methodology for agreeing on a conceptualization (centrally controlled categorization).

this use case requires that there be a common conceptualization of what tagging means and at least some way for a service to correlate or connect tag data from one application to another.
-
We identify those concepts that are vague, and set out to clarify them. And we lay out a conceptual framework for identifying those areas where systems will differ. Ontologies are as much about reasoning about incompatibilities as about finding commonalities.

tawhuacOntologies are enabling technology for the Semantic Web. They are a means for people to state what they mean by the terms used in data that they might generate, share, or consume. Folksonomies are an emergent phenomenon of the Social Web. They arise from data about how people associate terms with content that they generate, share, or consume. Recently the two ideas have been put into opposition, as if they were right and left poles of a political spectrum. This is a false dichotomy; they are more like apples and oranges. In fact, as the Semantic Web matures and the Social Web grows, there is increasing value in applying Semantic Web technologies to the data of the Social Web. This article is an attempt to clarify the distinct roles for ontologies and folksonomies, and previews some new work that applies the two ideas together - an ontology of folksonomy.

today's curators of books and other cultural artifacts are designing ontologies-as-conceptual-specifications that enable multiple, independently developed databases of carefully categorized artifacts to interoperate, and for agents to reason about the differences among the vocabulary used in each of those independent databases (International Council of Museums, 2006).

The only problem with the anti-ontology blog, is, as my friend put it: "He misses the point ... so beautifully."
-
The problem is that the blog, like much of the popular writing on ontology, confuses ontology-as-specified-conceptualization with a very narrow form of specification (the taxonomic classification) and a very specific methodology for agreeing on a conceptualization (centrally controlled categorization).

-
As others have pointed out, Google's revolution in search quality began when it incorporated a measure of "popular" acclaim -- the hyperlink -- as evidence that a page ought to be associated with a query.
-
Tags introduce distributed human intelligence into the system.

When the early webmasters were manually creating directories of interesting sites relevant to their interests, they were implicitly "voting with their links." Today, as the adopters of tagging systems enthusiastically label their bookmarks and photos, they are implicitly voting with their tags. This is, indeed, "radical" in the political sense, and clearly a source of power to exploit.
-
You guessed: create an ontology for folksonomy.
-
Let's start by clarifying our purposes. After all, this is an engineering design effort -- not an exercise in categorizing the world's content. Consider two use cases.
-
This means that there must be some way of reasoning about the equivalence or relationship among tagging data across applications.
-
I tag it with the labels that categorize my trip for travel ("adventure" "culture" "diving" etc.) and the travel site can tag it automatically with things like the places I visited ("Bali" "Ubud" etc.) and my screen name.
-
Tagging across various and varied applications, both existent and to be created, requires that we make it possible to exchange, compare, and reason about the tag data without any one application owning the "tag space" or folksonomy.
-
Use Case 2: Collaborative Filtering Based on Tagging
-
Google is great, but it takes work sorting through all the noise.
-
Again, this use case requires that there be a common conceptualization of what tagging means and at least some way for a service to correlate or connect tag data from one application to another.

Folksonomies are an emergent phenomenon of the Social Web. They arise from data about how people associate terms with content that they generate, share, or consume.
-
In the context of the Semantic Web, "ontology" is an enabling technology -- a layer of the enabling infrastructure -- for information sharing and manipulation. The approach is simple: parties who have software/data/services to offer identify some common conceptualization of the data; they specify that conceptualization as clearly they can; they build systems that interoperate on those specifications.
-
Hence the term "folksonomy" - the emergent labeling of lots of things by people in a social context.

For bookmarking, tagging helps to counter the spam-induced noise in search engines, and for photo sharing, tagging gives those text-based search engines a fighting chance.
