Folksonomy is a classification system in which end users apply public tags to online items, typically to make those items easier for themselves or others to find later. Over time, this can give rise to a classification system based on those tags and how often they are applied or searched for, in contrast to a taxonomic classification designed by the owners of the content and specified when it is published.[1][2] This practice is also known as collaborative tagging,[3][4] social classification, social indexing, and social tagging. Folksonomy was originally "the result of personal free tagging of information [...] for one's own retrieval",[5] but online sharing and interaction expanded it into collaborative forms. Social tagging is the application of tags in an open online environment where the tags of other users are available to others. Collaborative tagging (also known as group tagging) is tagging performed by a group of users. This type of folksonomy is commonly used in cooperative and collaborative projects such as research, content repositories, and social bookmarking.

Vander Wal identifies two types of folksonomy: broad and narrow. A broad folksonomy arises when multiple users can apply the same tag to an item, providing information about which tags are the most popular. A narrow folksonomy occurs when users, typically fewer in number and often including the item's creator, tag an item with tags that can each be applied only once. While both broad and narrow folksonomies enable the searchability of content by adding an associated word or phrase to an object, a broad folksonomy allows for sorting based on the popularity of each tag, as well as the tracking of emerging trends in tag usage and developing vocabularies.)

范德 · 沃尔确定了两种类型的大众分类法: 广义大众分类和狭义大众分类。当多个用户可以对一个项目应用相同的标记,并提供关于哪些标记最受欢迎的信息时,就会产生广泛的大众分类法。一个狭义的大众分类法发生在用户使用标签标记一个项目的时候,这些标签通常数量较少,并且通常包括项目的创建者,每个项目只能应用一次。虽然广义大众分类法和狭义大众分类法都通过在对象中添加关联词或短语来实现内容的可搜索性,但广义大众分类法允许根据每个标记的受欢迎程度进行排序,并跟踪标记使用的新趋势和开发词汇表


The term was coined by Thomas Vander Wal in 2004[5][6][7] as a portmanteau of folk and taxonomy. Folksonomies became popular as part of social software applications such as social bookmarking and photograph annotation that enable users to collectively classify and find information via shared tags. Some websites include tag clouds as a way to visualize tags in a folksonomy.[8]

Common uses of social tagging for knowledge acquisition include personal development for individual use and collaborative projects. Social tagging is used for knowledge acquisition in secondary, post-secondary, and graduate education as well as personal and business research. The benefits of finding/re-finding source information are applicable to a wide spectrum of users. Tagged resources are located through search queries rather than searching through a more traditional file folder system. The social aspect of tagging also allows users to take advantage of metadata from thousands of other users. Tags are beneficial for a couple of reasons. First, they help to structure and organize large amounts of digital resources in a manner that makes them easily accessible when users attempt to locate the resource at a later time. The second aspect is social in nature, that is to say that users may search for new resources and content based on the tags of other users. Even the act of browsing through common tags may lead to further resources for knowledge acquisition.

社会标签在获取知识方面的常见用途包括个人发展和协作项目。社会标签用于中学、高等教育、研究生教育以及个人和商业研究中的知识获取。查找/重新查找源信息的好处适用于范围广泛的用户。标记的资源是通过搜索查询定位的,而不是通过更传统的文件夹系统进行搜索。标签的社会化方面也允许用户利用来自成千上万其他用户的元数据。标签是有益的,有几个原因。首先,它们帮助构建和组织大量的数字资源,以便当用户以后试图查找资源时能够方便地访问这些资源。第二个方面是社会化的本质,也就是说用户可以根据其他用户的标签来搜索新的资源和内容。甚至通过普通标签浏览也可能为获取知识提供更多的资源。


Folksonomies can be used for K-12 education, business, and higher education. More specifically, folksonomies may be implemented for social bookmarking, teacher resource repositories, e-learning systems, collaborative learning, collaborative research, professional development and teaching. Wikipedia is also a prime example of folksonomy.[9]模板:Better source needed模板:Clarify


Benefits and disadvantages

Folksonomies are a trade-off between traditional centralized classification and no classification at all,[10] and have several advantages:[11][12][13]

  • Tagging is easy to understand and do, even without training and previous knowledge in classification or indexing
  • The vocabulary in a folksonomy directly reflects the user's vocabulary
  • Folksonomies are flexible, in the sense that the user can add or remove tags
  • Tags consist of both popular content and long-tail content, enabling users to browse and discover new content even in narrow topics
  • Tags reflect the user's conceptual model without cultural, social, or political bias
  • Enable the creation of communities, in the sense that users who apply the same tag have a common interest
  • Folksonomies are multi-dimensional, in the sense that users can assign any number and combination of tags to express a concept


There are several disadvantages with the use of tags and folksonomies as well,[14] and some of the advantages (see above) can lead to problems. For example, the simplicity in tagging can result in poorly applied tags.[15] Further, while controlled vocabularies are exclusionary by nature,[16] tags are often ambiguous and overly personalized.[17] Users apply tags to documents in many different ways and tagging systems also often lack mechanisms for handling synonyms, acronyms and homonyms, and they also often lack mechanisms for handling spelling variations such as misspellings, singular/plural form, conjugated and compound words. Some tagging systems do not support tags consisting of multiple words, resulting in tags like "viewfrommywindow". Sometimes users choose specialized tags or tags without meaning to others.


Elements and types

A folksonomy emerges when users tag content or information, such as web pages, photos, videos, podcasts, tweets, scientific papers and others. Strohmaier et al.[18] elaborate the concept: the term "tagging" refers to a "voluntary activity of users who are annotating resources with term-so-called 'tags' – freely chosen from an unbounded and uncontrolled vocabulary". Others explain tags as an unstructured textual label[19] or keywords,[20] and that they appear as a simple form of metadata.[21]


Folksonomies consist of three basic entities: users, tags, and resources. Users create tags to mark resources such as: web pages, photos, videos, and podcasts. These tags are used to manage, categorize and summarize online content. This collaborative tagging system also uses these tags as a way to index information, facilitate searches and navigate resources. Folksonomy also includes a set of URLs that are used to identify resources that have been referred to by users of different websites. These systems also include category schemes that have the ability to organize tags at different levels of granularity.[22]


Vander Wal identifies two types of folksonomy: broad and narrow.[23] A broad folksonomy arises when multiple users can apply the same tag to an item, providing information about which tags are the most popular. A narrow folksonomy occurs when users, typically fewer in number and often including the item's creator, tag an item with tags that can each be applied only once. While both broad and narrow folksonomies enable the searchability of content by adding an associated word or phrase to an object, a broad folksonomy allows for sorting based on the popularity of each tag, as well as the tracking of emerging trends in tag usage and developing vocabularies.[23]


An example of a broad folksonomy is del.icio.us, a website where users can tag any online resource they find relevant with their own personal tags. The photo-sharing website Flickr is an oft-cited example of a narrow folksonomy.


Folksonomy vs. taxonomy

'Taxonomy' refers to a hierarchical categorization in which relatively well-defined classes are nested under broader categories. A folksonomy establishes categories (each tag is a category) without stipulating or necessarily deriving a hierarchical structure of parent-child relations among different tags. (Work has been done on techniques for deriving at least loose hierarchies from clusters of tags.[24])

  7. Origin of the term
  8. {{Cite journal Supporters of folksonomies claim that they are often preferable to taxonomies because folksonomies democratize the way information is organized, they are more useful to users because they reflect current ways of thinking about domains, and they express more information about domains. Critics claim that folksonomies are messy and thus harder to use, and can reflect transient trends that may misrepresent what is known about a field. 支持 folksonomies 的人声称,他们通常比分类法更可取,因为 folksonomies 使信息的组织方式民主化,他们对用户更有用,因为他们反映了当前对领域的思考方式,他们表达了更多关于领域的信息。批评者声称,民俗分类法杂乱无章,因此难以使用,而且可以反映出短暂的趋势,可能会歪曲某一领域的已知信息。 | last1 = Lamere | first1 = Paul | title = Social Tagging And Music Information Retrieval An empirical analysis of the complex dynamics of tagging systems, published in 2007, has shown that consensus around stable distributions and shared vocabularies does emerge, even in the absence of a central controlled vocabulary. For content to be searchable, it should be categorized and grouped. While this was believed to require commonly agreed on sets of content describing tags (much like keywords of a journal article), some research has found that in large folksonomies common structures also emerge on the level of categorizations. 2007年发表的一篇关于标签系统复动力学的实证分析表明,即使没有一个核心的标签受控词表,围绕稳定分布和共享词汇的共识也确实出现了。对于可搜索的内容,应该对其进行分类和分组。虽然人们认为这需要在描述标签的内容集上达成共识(很像期刊文章的关键词) ,但一些研究发现,在大型通俗名词中,通用结构也出现在分类层面上。 | journal = Journal of New Music Research Accordingly, it is possible to devise mathematical models of collaborative tagging that allow for translating from personal tag vocabularies (personomies) to the vocabulary shared by most users. 因此,我们可以设计出分众分类法的数学模型,从而将个人标记词汇(personomies)转换为大多数用户共享的词汇。 | volume = 37 | issue = 2 Folksonomy is unrelated to folk taxonomy, a cultural practice that has been widely documented in anthropological and folkloristic work. Folk taxonomies are culturally supplied, intergenerationally transmitted, and relatively stable classification systems that people in a given culture use to make sense of the entire world around them (not just the Internet). This branch of ontology deals with the intersection between highly structured taxonomies or hierarchies and loosely structured folksonomy, asking what best features can be taken by both for a system of classification. The strength of flat-tagging schemes is their ability to relate one item to others like it. Folksonomy allows large disparate groups of users to collaboratively label massive, dynamic information systems. The strength of taxonomies are their browsability: users can easily start from more generalized knowledge and target their queries towards more specific and detailed knowledge. Folksonomy looks to categorize tags and thus create browsable spaces of information that are easy to maintain and expand. 民间分类法与民间分类法无关,这种文化实践在人类学和民间分类学著作中得到了广泛的记载。民间分类法是文化上提供的、代际间传播的、相对稳定的分类系统,特定文化中的人们使用这些系统来理解他们周围的整个世界(而不仅仅是互联网)。本体论的这个分支处理高度结构化的分类法或层次结构与松散结构大众分类法之间的交叉,询问这两者对于一个分类系统可以采用哪些最佳特性。平面标签方案的优势在于它们能够将一个项目与类似的其他项目联系起来。大众分类允许大型不同用户群体协作标记大规模的动态信息系统。分类法的优势在于它们的可浏览性: 用户可以很容易地从更广泛的知识开始,并将他们的查询定向到更具体和详细的知识。大众分类法着眼于对标签进行分类,从而创建易于维护和扩展的可浏览的信息空间。 | pages = 101–114 | date = June 2008 | doi = 10.1080/09298210802479284 | citeseerx = 10.1.1.492.2457 Social tagging for knowledge acquisition is the specific use of tagging for finding and re-finding specific content for an individual or group. Social tagging systems differ from traditional taxonomies in that they are community-based systems lacking the traditional hierarchy of taxonomies. Rather than a top-down approach, social tagging relies on users to create the folksonomy from the bottom up. 知识获取的社会标签是为个人或群体寻找和重新寻找特定内容而使用的特定标签。社会标签系统不同于传统的分类系统,因为它们是基于社区的系统,缺乏传统的分类系统等级。社会标签不是自顶向下的方法,而是依靠用户自下而上地创建大众分类法。 | s2cid = 17063867 }}
