A call for social tagging datasets
Christian Körner, Markus Strohmaier · ACM SIGWEB Newsletter · 2010
Tagging represents a new, user-driven form of indexing and labeling resources on the web. The notion of "social tagging" usually refers to web-based systems that are supporting users in collaboratively tagging and sharing resources, such as Delicious, Flickr and others. In recent years, social tagging systems have emerged as an interesting alternative to labeling and linking resources on the web. This development has created an interesting opportunity for the Hypertext research community to gain new perspectives and understanding about the dynamics and nature of tagging and linking in large scale, participative Hypertext systems.
