Folksonomies - Cooperative Classification and Communication Through Shared Metadata

  • A folksonomy represents simultaneously
    some of the best and worst in the organization of
    information. Its uncontrolled nature is fundamentally chaotic,
    suffers from problems of imprecision and ambiguity that well
    developed controlled vocabularies and name authorities
    effectively ameliorate. Conversely, systems employing free-‍form
    tagging that are encouraging users to organize information in
    their own ways are supremely responsive to user needs and
    vocabularies, and involve the users of information actively in
    the organizational system. Overall, transforming the creation
    of explicit metadata for resources from an isolated,
    professional activity into a shared, communicative activity by
    users is an important development that should be explored and
    considered for future systems development.
