Folksonomy-Based User-Centric Information Organization Systems, Devendra Potnis Jan 2011

Folksonomy-Based User-Centric Information Organization Systems, Devendra Potnis

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

After the rise of Web 2.0 technologies, Folksonomy emerged as one of the most popular user-centric information organization techniques in the newly reforming digital world. ln the context of the rising popularity of folksonomies, this paper conceptually investigates -- how can folksonomies be integrated with other ways of organizing information for building systems that could serve information users better in the future? A set of experimentation ideas of integrating folksonomy with controlled vocabularies, bibliometric maps, thesaurus-based systems, ontologies, and semantic web could inform and catalyze the design and development of folksonomy-based user-centric information organization systems in the future.
