Associating Semantics to Multilingual Tags in Folksonomies.
Andrés García-Silva, Óscar Corcho, Jorge Gracia · Hispana · 2010
Tagging systems are nowadays a common feature in web sites where user-generated content plays an important role. However, the lack of semantics and multilinguality hamper information retrieval process based on folksonomies. In this paper we propose an approach to bring semantics to multilingual folksonomies. This approach includes a sense disambiguation activity and takes advantage from knowledge generated by the masses in the form of articles, redirection and disambiguation links, and translations in Wikipedia. We use DBpedia as semantic resource to define the tag meanings.
