Journal of Digital Information 10(1). Studying Social Tagging and Folksonomy: A Review and Framework J. 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.

These have led to the development and evolution of Web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), video sharing sites (i.e. YouTube), wikis, blogs, etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to any actual change in technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Web 2.0 is a catch-all term used to describe a variety of developments on the Web and a perceived shift in the way it is used. This shift can be characterized as the evolution of Web use from passive consumption of content to more active participation, creation and sharing. Web 2.0 Websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.

  • 398 Exploring the Use of Social Bookmarking Technology In
    MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching Vol. 6, No. 2, June 2010 Exploring the Use of Social Bookmarking Technology in Education: An Analysis of Students’ Experiences using a Course-specific Delicious.com Account Tricia M. Farwell Assistant Professor School of Journalism Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro, TN USA [email protected] Richard D. Waters Assistant Professor Department of Communication North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC USA [email protected] Abstract With more than 4.6 million people, mostly undergraduates, enrolling in at least one online course in fall of 2008, students are showing that they are comfortable with the concept of technology in education. Many students in online classes, however still have to deal with the high cost of textbooks and supplemental materials. Online technologies, however, can provide other alternatives to costly coursepacks and textbooks. Faculty and students may be able to replace or supplement coursepacks and textbooks with social bookmarking sites. This study shows how social bookmarking, specifically Delicious.com, can be used in a course to provide an inexpensive answer to the question of rising course materials costs. Through a series of online focus groups, 53 students enrolled in a “Social Media and Public Relations” course revealed their apprehension toward using an unknown technology and discussed their positive and negative experiences with using the course-specific Delicious.com account. Implications for how social bookmarking can impact online and offline learning are discussed. Keywords: Social bookmarking, higher education, focus groups, Web 2.0, e-learning, Delicious.com, Digg, textbook replacement, coursepack replacement, online resources, social media, online education Introduction As the price of higher education keeps increasing and budgets keep decreasing, universities are seeking new outlets to try to cut costs.

  • The Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Tagging: Evaluation of Delicious Website1
    The Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Tagging: Evaluation of Delicious Website1 Ruslan Lecturer of Library Science Department Faculty of Letter and Humanism Ar-Raniry State Islamic University Banda Aceh - Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Introduction The internet is the fastest growing and largest tool for mass communication and information distribution in the world. It can be used to distribute large amounts of information anywhere in the world at a minimal cost. This progress also can be seen from the emergence of Web 2.02, a form of social computing which engages consumers at the grassroots level in systems that necessitate creative, collaborative or information sharing tasks. Web 2.0 encompasses social bookmarking, blogging, wikis and online social networking among others. One of the ways users can do this is through tagging. Tagging is referred to with several names: collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, folksonomy, etc. The basic principle is that end users do subject indexing instead of experts only, and the assigned tags are being shown immediately on the Web (Voss, 2007). Nowadays, social bookmarking systems have been successful in attracting and retaining users. This success initially originated from members’ ability to centrally store bookmarks on the web. 1 This is assignment paper of author when studying in School of Information Science, McGill University, Montreal-Canada, 2009. 2 Web 2.0 is a set of economic, social, and technology trends that collectively form the basis for the next generation of the Internet—a more mature, distinctive medium characterized by user participation, openness, and network effects.

  • The Influences of Online Cultural Capital on Social Tagging Behavior Chi-Shiou Lin1, Yi-Fan Chen2
    Journal of Library and Information Studies 10:2 (December 2012) p.21-37 The Influences of Online Cultural Capital on Social Tagging Behavior Chi-Shiou Lin1, Yi-Fan Chen2 Abstract This study examines the influences of online cultural capital on social tagging behavior in Deli- cious.com. The researchers identified three online cultural capital-related variables (understanding of social tagging, understanding of Delicious’ social functionalities, and quantity of tags and bookmarks) via factor analysis of a survey dataset and analyzed their influences on tagging motivations (information organization-oriented vs. social-oriented) and tagging strategies (object-based tagging vs. situation- based tagging). An existing dataset from a previous survey of Delicious users was used for the analy- sis. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the influences of the three variables on tagging motivations and strategies. The study found that understanding of social tagging has a significant positive influence on information organization-oriented tagging; understanding of Delicious’ social functionalities has a significant positive influence on social-oriented tagging. In tagging strategies, understanding of Delicious’ functionalities significantly influenced how strategic respondents are in situation-based tagging. Quantity of tags and bookmarks influenced both types of tagging strategies. Keywords: Social Tagging; Social Bookmarking Service; Cultural Capital; Delicious 1.
