Tag Gardening for Folksonomy Enrichment and Maintenance
Isabella Peters, Katrin Weller · 2008
As social tagging applications continuously gain in popularity, it becomes more and more accepted that models and tools for (re-)organizing tags are needed. Some first approaches are already practically implemented. Recently, activities to edit and organize tags have been described as gardening. We discuss different ways to subsequently revise and reedit tags and thus introduce different activities; among them models that allow gradually adding semantic structures to folksonomies and/or that combine them with more complex forms of knowledge organization systems. Moreover, power tags are introduced as tag gardening candidates and the personal tag repository TagCare is presented.
