Social bookmark tools are rapidly emerging on the Web. In such systems users are setting up lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies. The reason for their immediate success is the fact that no specific skills are needed for participating. At the moment, however, the information retrieval support is limited. We present a formal model and a new search algorithm for folksonomies,called FolkRank, that exploits the structure of the folksonomy. The proposed algorithm is also applied to findcommunities within the folksonomy and is used to structure search results. All findings are demonstrated on a large scale dataset.

Immer mehr Soziale-Lesezeichen-Systeme entstehen im heutigen Web. In solchen Systemen erstellen die Nutzer leichtgewichtige begriffliche Strukturen, so genannte Folksonomies. Ihren Erfolg verdanken sie der Tatsache, dass man keine speziellen Fähigkeiten benötigt, um an der Gestaltung mitzuwirken. In diesem Artikel beschreiben wir unser System BibSonomy. Es erlaubt das Speichern, Verwalten und Austauschen sowohl von Lesezeichen (Bookmarks) als auch von Literaturreferenzen in Form von BibTeX-Einträgen. Die Entwicklung des verwendeten Vokabulars und der damit einhergehenden Entstehung einer gemeinsamen Semantik wird detailliert diskutiert.

Wissensmanagement in zentralisierten Wissensbasen erfordert einen hohen Aufwand f�r Erstellung und Wartung, und es entspricht nicht immer den Anforderungen der Benutzer. Wir geben in diesem Kapitel einen �berblick �ber zwei aktuelle Ans�tze, die durch kollaboratives Wissensmanagement diese Probleme l�sen k�nnen. Im Peer-to-Peer-Wissensmanagement unterhalten Benutzer dezentrale Wissensbasen, die dann vernetzt werden k�nnen, um andere Benutzer eigene Inhalte nutzen zu lassen. Folksonomies versprechen, die Wissensakquisition so einfach wie m�glich zu gestalten und so viele Benutzer in den Aufbau und die Pflege einer gemeinsamen Wissensbasis einzubeziehen.

As the number of resources on the web exceeds by far the number ofdocuments one can track, it becomes increasingly difficult to remainup to date on ones own areas of interest. The problem becomes moresevere with the increasing fraction of multimedia data, from whichit is difficult to extract some conceptual description of theircontents.One way to overcome this problem are social bookmark tools, whichare rapidly emerging on the web. In such systems, users are settingup lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies, andovercome thus the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. As more and morepeople participate in the effort, the use of a common vocabularybecomes more and more stable. We present an approach for discoveringtopic-specific trends within folksonomies. It is based on adifferential adaptation of the PageRank algorithm to the triadichypergraph structure of a folksonomy. The approach allows for anykind of data, as it does not rely on the internal structure of thedocuments. In particular, this allows to consider different datatypes in the same analysis step. We run experiments on a large-scalereal-world snapshot of a social bookmarking system.
