Trant, University of Toronto / Archives & Museum Informatics 158 Lee Ave, Toronto, ON Canada M4E 2P3 jtrant [at] archimuse.com Abstract This paper reviews research into social tagging and folksonomy (as reflected in about 180 sources published through December 2007). Methods of researching the contribution of social tagging and folksonomy are described, and outstanding research questions are presented. This is a new area of research, where theoretical perspectives and relevant research methods are only now being defined. This paper provides a framework for the study of folksonomy, tagging and social tagging systems. Three broad approaches are identified, focusing first, on the folksonomy itself (and the role of tags in indexing and retrieval); secondly, on tagging (and the behaviour of users); and thirdly, on the nature of social tagging systems (as socio-technical frameworks). Keywords: Social tagging, folksonomy, tagging, literature review, research review 1. Introduction User-generated keywords – tags – have been suggested as a lightweight way of enhancing descriptions of on-line information resources, and improving their access through broader indexing. “Social Tagging” refers to the practice of publicly labeling or categorizing resources in a shared, on-line environment.

  • Wandaml a Markup Language for Digital Document Annotation
    WandaML a markup language for digital document annotation Katrin Franke2, Isabelle Guyon1, Lambert Schomaker3, and Louis Vuurpijl4 1. ClopiNet, 955 Creston Rd, Berkeley, USA, [email protected] (corresponding author.) 2. Fraunhofer Institute, Berlin, Germany. 3. Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands. 4. University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Abstract WandaML is an XML-based markup language for the annotation and filter jour- naling of digital documents. It addresses in particular the needs of forensic handwriting data examination, by allowing experts to enter information about writer, material (pen, paper), script and content, and to record chains of image filtering and feature extrac- tion operations applied to the data. We present the design of this format and some annotation examples, in the more general perspective of digital document annotation. Annotations may be organized in a structure that reflects the document layout via a hierarchy of document regions. WandaML can lend itself to a variety of applications, including the annotation all kinds of handwriting documents (on-line or off-line), im- ages of printed text, medical images, and satellite images. Keywords: Handwriting, forensic data, XML, annotations, data format, document analysis. 1 Introduction We present the design of an XML-based markup language to annotate digital documents, called WandaML . This markup language is designed for processing, analyzing and storing handwriting samples in application to forensic handwriting examination and writer iden- tification. In the context of this application, particular specifications were met to ensure objectivity and reproducibility of the processing steps and examination results [6, 5]. Writer identification can never be as accurate as iris or DNA-based identification.

  • Annotation Metadata for Linked Data Applications
    Proceedings of the 7th Workshop on Linked Data in Linguistics (LDL-2020), pages 36–44 Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2020), Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC Annohub – Annotation Metadata for Linked Data Applications Frank Abromeit, Christian Fath,¨ Luis Glaser Applied Computational Linguistics Lab, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany fabromeit,[email protected], [email protected] Abstract We introduce a new dataset for the Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) cloud that will provide metadata about annotation and language information harvested from annotated language resources like corpora freely available on the internet. To our knowledge annotation metadata is not provided by any metadata provider, e.g. linghub, datahub or CLARIN so far. On the other hand, language metadata that is found on such portals is rarely provided in machine-readable form, especially as Linked Data. In this paper, we describe the harvesting process, content and structure of the new dataset and its application in the Linjgujisjtik portal, a research platform for linguists. Aside from that, we introduce tools for the conversion of XML encoded language resources to the CoNLL format. The generated RDF data as well as the XML-converter application are made public under an open license. Keywords: LLOD, OLiA, CoNLL, Tiger-XML 1.

  • Automatic Image Annotation Using Visual Content and Folksonomies
    Multimed Tools Appl (2009) 42:97–113 DOI 10.1007/s11042-008-0247-7 Automatic image annotation using visual content and folksonomies Stefanie Lindstaedt · Roland Mörzinger · Robert Sorschag · Viktoria Pammer · Georg Thallinger Published online: 13 November 2008 © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008 Abstract Automatic image annotation is an important and challenging task, and becomes increasingly necessary when managing large image collections. This paper describes techniques for automatic image annotation that take advantage of collab- oratively annotated image databases, so called visual folksonomies. Our approach applies two techniques based on image analysis: First, classification annotates images with a controlled vocabulary and second tag propagation along visually similar im- ages. The latter propagates user generated, folksonomic annotations and is therefore capable of dealing with an unlimited vocabulary. Experiments with a pool of Flickr images demonstrate the high accuracy and efficiency of the proposed methods in the task of automatic image annotation. Both techniques were applied in the prototypical tag recommender “tagr”. Keywords Auto-annotation · Tagging · Image retrieval · Classification S. Lindstaedt · V.
