investigated the use of social tagging in communities and in context

Highlighted by grahamperrin

users, consciously or unconsciously, take into account their communities of practice when assigning tags

Highlighted by grahamperrin

a working prototype of a collaborative tool conceived for social tagging of specialised domains

Highlighted by grahamperrin

It has been suggested that once enough user-generated tags have been supplied, social tagging could lead to interesting folksonomies with benefits similar to a formal controlled vocabulary

However, people have varying motivators for tagging [5] and often use tags for purposes other than assigning subject terms.

There are three models of how tagging is used in China as metadata

the relationship of the user to the information, showing how the user perceives ('reads') that information object

Highlighted by grahamperrin

users are tagging to relate their concept of information to another user's concept of some piece of information

Highlighted by grahamperrin

users that are connected together through their use of tags

This type of tagging is also heavily misused

It may be used inconsistently

Highlighted by grahamperrin

He argued that associative trails better represented how users actually work with their documents: as a holistic process of association closely tied to themselves and their work rather than by categorisation.

Highlighted by trumble

This suggests that user tagging could provide additional access points to traditional controlled vocabularies and provide users with the associative classifications necessary to tie documents and articles to time, task and project relationships as well as other associations which are new and novel.

the idea of a large, stable meta-structure containing a linguistically stable group of individuals can be discounted

seeing named social entities in a dataset may simply reflect our own preconceptions
