" There is a section about tagging. Because I'm thinking about tagging from the perspective of online communities of practice, I found this bit in the report interesting. The one piece of information that was new to me was this: Folksonomy versus collabulary One outcome from the practice of tagging has been the rise of the ???
The Art Museum Social Tagging Project is a group of art museums is looking at integrating folksonomies into the museum Web by developing a working prototype for tagging and term collection, and outlining directions for future development and research that could benefit the entire museum community. A tag is a user???s
Let's begin with big picture question that Gavin raised: What purpose do folksonomies serve? Gavin's post does a great job explaining the definitions and the advantages of a taxonomy over a folksonomy. He observes that folksonomies are in the early stages of development. How are they different from taxonomies?
People who can touch API's out there have been fooling around with trying to extract data from the NpTech tag for analysis as well as think about ways that we can make the data that has been tagged more filtered via social search, collaborative filtering, and whatever else. Deborah Finn's thoughts on the NpTech Tag Mashup.
In a recent post I claimed that tools like social bookmarking and tagging might be making waves among the technoscenti, but they are not high on the nuts-and-bolts priority list of the typical non-profit. But personally, tagging and social bookmarking are an essential part of how I use the web. So sure, let's talk about tagging.
nonprofit technology thought leader Marnie Webb created the NpTech Tag as a way for nonprofit techies to share bookmarks on del.icio.us. Marshall Kirkpatrick , who was working with Netsquared , whipped up the NpTech Metafeed which allowed folks to aggregate items tagged by nonprofit techies from many distributed sources.
report led me to post on the concept of 'collabuary' raised in the report, which prompted Stephen Downes to comment in reply , trying to distinguish between folksonomies and collabuaries (which he thinks isn't a useful term; it just means 'vocabulary' or 'taxonomy'). A link to a Web 2.0 Some others disagree.
A key value of following the NpTech Tag stream, even though it is undifferiented is for finding or identifying patterns. Who is tagging? There is a lot to be learned about our respective tagging behaviors and who contributes to the NpTech Tag stream and why. How people are making sense of the tag streams.
NpTech Tag Talk If you couldn't make to the NpTech Conference call this week, there are notes here. Many useful observations and questions raised about how to analyze the tagging data we've collected and how to move from a folksonomy to a taxonomy.
