@inproceedings{rezel2010swefe, abstract = {This paper presents SWE-FE: a suite of methods to extend folksonomies to the worldwide Sensor Web in order to tackle the emergent data rich information poor (DRIP) syndrome afflicting most geospatial applications on the Internet. SWE-FE leverages the geospatial information associated with three key components of such collaborative tagging systems: tags, resources and users. Specifically, SWE-FE provides algorithms for: i) suggesting tags for users during the tag input stage; ii) generating tag maps which provides for serendipitous browsing; and iii) personalized searching within the folksonomy. We implement SWE-FE on the GeoCENS Sensor Web platform as a case study for assessing the efficacy of our methods. We outline the evaluation framework that we are currently employing to carry out this assessment.}, author = {Rezel, R. and Liang, S.}, booktitle = {2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS)}, doi = {10.1109/CTS.2010.5478494}, interhash = {9eb696593932c517873232386f8f61bf}, intrahash = {d5b71572c7fea6504a0c0a3d84a9ecf0}, month = may, pages = {349--356}, publisher = {IEEE}, title = {SWE-FE: Extending folksonomies to the Sensor Web}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5478494}, year = 2010 }
