Semantic Cloud: An Enhanced Browsing Interface for Exploring Resources in Folksonomy Systems
Hidir Aras, Sandra Siegel, Rainer Malaka · 2010
Popular Web folksonomy systems such as Delicious or Flickr allow users to create web contents and annotate them with a set of freely chosen keywords (tags) in order to organize them for later retrieval. Unfortunately, existing user interfaces of folksonomy systems have limited browsing capabilities and do not exploit tag semantics sufficiently for browsing linked data. In this paper, we present Semantic Cloud, an approach for exploring data in folksonomy systems based on a hierarchical semantic representation of the tag-space, which is obtained by analyzing folksonomy data.
