A “folksonomy” is a collaboratively generated, open-ended labeling system that enables Internet users to categorize content such as Web pages, online photographs, and Web links. The freely chosen labels — called tags — help to improve search engine’s effectiveness because content is categorized using a familiar, accessible, and shared vocabulary. The labeling process is called tagging. Two widely cited examples of websites using folksonomic tagging are Flickr and del.icio.us. Synonyms for folksonomies and tagging: ethnoclassification, free tagging, mobtagging. See also: metadata, meta noise, web 2.0. |
