This paper reviews some current initiatives, as of early 2005, in providing public link management applications on the Web � utilities that are often referred to under the general moniker of 'social bookmarking tools'. There are a couple of things going on here: 1 server-side software aimed specifically at managing links with, crucially, a strong, social networking flavour, and 2 an unabashedly open and unstructured approach to tagging, or user classification, of those links. A number of such utilities are presented here, together with an emergent new class of tools that caters more to the academic communities and that stores not only user-supplied tags, but also structured citation metadata terms wherever it is possible to glean this information from service providers. This provision of rich, structured metadata means that the user is provided with an accurate third-party identification of a document, which could be used to retrieve that document, but is also free to search on user-supplied terms so that documents of interest or rather, references to documents can be made discoverable and aggregated with other similar descriptions either recorded by the user or by other users.

Topics in education are changing with an ever faster pace. E-Learning
sources tend to be more and more decentralised. Users need increasingly to be able to
e the resources of the web. For this, they should have tools for finding and organizing
formation in a decentral way. In this, paper, we show how an ontology-based tool
ite allows to make the most of the resources available on the web.
