Folksonomy

as means for users to describe, organize and share content, forming groups known as “folksonomies,” has challenged the traditional idea of organizing knowledge within information systems, raising questions whether tags and folksonomies might improve information retrieval, thus bridging the gap between lay persons and builders (Smith 136-139; Lee and Schiyer 1747-1748; Rolla 174-175; 182-183). In fact, folksonomies have been proposed an alternative way to organize and find information, such as Park

about writing? With the continuing expansion of technology in today’s society it is unknown what future possibilities lie ahead for the world of social writing. ‘Folksonomy’ (also known as “multi-user tagging” [Nicotra 2009]) is a technological, changing strategy within the Web that organises material. Within her article, ‘”Folksonomy” and the Restructuring of Writing Space’ (2009), author Jodie Nicotra argues for an innovative metaphor for writing that explains the multiple forms within the composition

(2007). The Structure and Form of Folksonomy Tags: The Road to the Public Library Catalog. Information Technology & Libraries, 26(3), 13-25. Louise Spiteri discusses the structure of folksonomy tags that were collected from various websites for a thirty-day period. The tags were than analyzed by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) guidelines for the controlled vocabularies. She states that of the NISO guidelines used to analyze the types of folksonomies expressed, it was mainly focused

A writing ecology is a dynamic, interconnected system of communication, which works together through interaction and sharing. As the term ‘ecology’ traditionally refers to the relationships between organisms in an environment, the ability to metaphorically link this to a concept of writing redefines the complexity of networked technologies and the influences of technological change. The ability to participate in a digitally evolving space opens up new possibilities and opportunities when accessing

Social Tagging in Music Information Retrieval Caylen C. Grasz Emporia State University Abstract Social tags, a collaborative method of organization, have become a recent discussion topic in the music information retrieval field. Keywords: social tagging, music information retrieval Social Tagging in Music Information Retrieval The end of the 20th century introduced two new concepts that would be some of the most defining revolutions of the early 21st century: digital

system of user-based regulation is purported to keep the Wikipedia valid. Another facet of collaboration discussed in Module 2 was that of ‘Taxonomies‘v ‘Folksonomies‘. By attaching labels to content using social bookmarking sites such as ‘Delicious’, we can share and collaborate with others, creating a database of knowledge. Folksonomies such as this lack the hierarchical structure of traditional categorization systems

who intends to do cataloging and classifying work in the future. I naively assumed going in that there would be some ultimate form of classifying, but it seems the true winning combo is a combination of multiple, whether that be LCC, LCSH, DCC, folksonomy, or other ontologies. This work is integral to

It is almost a conundrum to consider the best route for nuanced and equitable access for information. I think on some level the words nuanced and equitable contradict each other. These words can be understood as existing on a continuum. On one end there are the “nuanced” (i.e. more precise or expert) classification systems which tend to serve the skilled searcher very well, and the novice searcher very badly. Unless you are familiar with the controlled vocabulary you are unlikely to find answers

21st century classroom. A 21st century classroom emphasis on the effective uses of technology and encourages students to develop learning skills that involve using of various applications. Classrooms of 21st century are interactive in nature. These are beyond the physical boundaries and independent of time zones. Grouping of social network, inclusion of digital games, use of e-textbooks, open source books, and open source applications are becoming fundamentals of the present-day classroom environment
