Working within the constraints of a very limited data sample, this
study attempts to identify some of the information management and
meaning construction practices of an online distributed classification
(a.k.a. free tagging or ethnoclassification) community. Specifically,
this study seeks to investigate the social and communicative practices
that emerge when users are encouraged to share web links with one
another by using a metadata keyword, or tag, to demark a social group,
apart from using other tags to classify links according to an emergent
taxonomy.
