6. In the beginning…..
• The term "Web 2.0" was coined at that conference and
refers to a second generation of web development and
design, that aims to facilitate communication, secure
information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration
on the World Wide Web.
• Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and
evolution of web-based communities, and applications;
such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites,
wikis, blogs, and Folksonomies.
From Wikipedia
8. What’s a Folksonomy?
• Folksonomy (also known as collaborative
tagging, social classification, social indexing,
and social tagging) is the practice and method
of collaboratively creating and managing tags
to annotate and categorize content.
9. • In contrast to a taxonomy, which can be roughly
translated as “classification management”, a
Folksonomy is a classification scheme that uses a
crowd rather than experts to parse content. The
idea of a Folksonomy is closely related to tagging,
which has enjoyed great vogue in online circles
since 2005 at least.
• The word Folksonomy is a combination of folks,
meaning "people", and -onomy, meaning
"management". Literally, this can be taken to
mean “management by people” and has nothing
to do with classification
• A visual representation of a Folksonomy is the
tagcloud
11. Why are tags so important?
• The early days of the web, content classification = Keyword Meta
• Due to widespread misuse of this function, this HTML variable was
gradually dismissed until all major search engines stopped reading its
contents (about 2000-2001).
• As a result, a new breed of search engine optimization (SEO) has been
born: tags. Tags are essentially keywords for each page/article you create.
They are purposefully sought out and indexed by search engines and other
Web 2.0 sites, such as Technorati.com, who gather these terms and often
sort them by date rather than popularity, though Google concentrates on
relevance and popularity.
• Articles, news stories, podcasts, audio recordings, photos, presentations,
video clips can all be tagged easily no matter what type of blog or content
management system you use. The benefit is a wider distribution of your
content and more opportunities for those seeking it to find it.
41. Wiki 1 2 3
• Derived from the Hawaiian for “quick,” wikis are used across
the Web as collaborative tools. Invented by Ward
Cunningham, they’ve been around since 1995.
• As finished products wikis are not flashy presentations. Users
focus on creating, adding to, and editing text content using
web browsers.
• Because they are browser-based editing tools, the technology
barrier is low. Wikis can be created and edited with little or
no knowledge of HTML.
• Team-based by nature, they are logistically suited for group
projects. Wikis are increasingly used by businesses and
organizations as knowledge management solutions. They have
also become staples of university courses to encourage
academic collaboration and discourse.
