  abstract = {In this paper we give a brief overview of different metadata mechanisms (like ontologies and folksonomies) and how they relate to each other. We identify major strengths and weaknesses of these mechanisms. We claim that these mechanisms can be classified from restricted (e.g., ontology) to free (e.g., free text tagging). In our view, these mechanisms should not be used in isolation, but rather as complementary solutions, in a continuous process wherein the strong points of one increase the semantic depth of the other. We give an overview of early active research already going on in this direction and propose that methodologies to support this process be developed. We demonstrate a possible approach, in which we mix tagging, taxonomy and ontology.},

  abstract = {Folksonomy ist eine neuartige Form des Datenmanagements, die auf dem Vorgang des Taggings basiert. Durch die sich immer st�rker ausbreitende Vernetzung werden neue Arten der Organisation der dynamischen Inhalte des Webs notwendig. Folksonomy bietet diese neue Denkweise, die von herk�mmlichen Ans�tzen, wie Taxonomien und Ontologien, vollst�ndig abkommt. Die Daten werden mit Tags belegt anstatt sie hierarchisch zu strukturieren. Durch das Fehlen dieser hierarchischen Abh�ngigkeiten sind Folksonomien weitaus flexibler und dynamischer als starre klassifizierungssysteme und sind den gesteigerten Anforderungen des Webs gewachsen. In dieser Arbeit wird auf die Unterschiede zwischen herk�mmlichen hierarchischen Organisationsmodellen und Folksonomien eingegangen und ein �berblick �ber das Thema Folksonomy gegeben.},

  abstract = {Folksonomies are classification schemes that emerge from the collective actions of users who tag resources with an unrestricted set of key terms. There has been a flurry of activity in this domain recently with a number of high profile web sites and search engines adopting the practice. They have sparked a great deal of excitement and debate in the popular and technical literature, accompanied by a number of analyses of the statistical properties of tagging behavior. However, none has addressed the deep nature of folksonomies. What is the nature of a tag? Where does it come from? How is it related to a resource? In this paper we present a study in which the linguistic properties of folksonomies reveal them to contain, on the one hand, tags that are similar to standard categories in taxonomies. But on the other hand, they contain additional tags to describe class properties. The implications of the findings for the relationship between folksonomy and ontology are discussed.},

@article{tonkin2006folksonomies,
  abstract = {A folksonomy is a type of distributed classification system. It is usually created by a group of individuals, typically the resource users. Users add tags to online items, such as images, videos, bookmarks and text. These tags are then shared and sometimes refined. In this article we look at what makes folksonomies work. We agree with the premise that tags are no replacement for formal systems, but we see this as being the core quality that makes folksonomy tagging so useful.},
