![Social Tagging Dissecting a Tag Cloud Cumulative tag weights generally level off over time For the entire sample, differences from one cumulative tag cloud against the previous cumulative tag cloud become increasingly unlikely Predominance of top tags remains steady Through recreation of past tag clouds for one-hundred different del.icio.us bookmarks – by month and by discrete groups of every twenty-five users (e.g., users 1-25, 26-50, etc.) – it became apparent that while cumulative tag weights generally tend to level off, tagging practices within each individual group fluctuate wildly from one to the next. Notably, cumulative tag clouds had seven tags whose weights where appreciably higher than all other tags. This corresponds to the number of “popular tags” that del.icio.us lists for a user when they are saving a bookmark. The tiered structured of tag clouds on del.icio.us reflects the propensity of users to rely on these lists of “popular tags” when crafting their own. The general entrenchment of other tags in the cloud reflects the general usage patterns of social bookmarking sites. The limited vocabulary found within commonly used tags is necessary for the “social” aspect of social bookmarking.

Luis von Ahn, assistant professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, is creating games that serve another purpose: to develop valuable output for a greater community. Luis von Ahn has created a game, now licensed by Google and named Google Image Labeler, where players Despite some problems with this type of tagging, such as a lack of controlled vocabulary, no hierarchal structure in place, and little control over plurals, the benefits are significant. By playing a fun and free game online, users are contributing to developing a deeper and more accurate database of Internet images. Even the least intelligent humans can easily perform tasks that computers cannot do (yet), such as describing an image or tagging it. Luis von Ahn.

Folksonomies A folksonomy is a collaborative way in which information on the web is being categorized by users. It is a social listing of popular terms, or tags, created for web-based information access and sharing. by Patricia Vega Examples of social networking web sites: Narrow folksonomy: Flickr – photo sharing & management site Broad folksonomy: del.icio.us – bookmarking manager of websites Source: Gene Smith, IA Summit Panel, http://www.atomiq.org ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Knowledge Organization 653-05 – Prof. Cristina Pattuelli - December 7, 2007](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
