摘要:Folksonomies are one of today’s hottest Internet trends. They are but
one part of Web 2.0, which, in part, refers to the ability of Internet
users to add, change and improve World Wide Web content. A
folksonomy is created as users of a website add “tags” (keywords) to
describe items on a website. The users choose their own keywords; few or
no restrictions are imposed on their choices. The terms are not chosen from
a previously existing controlled vocabulary, a strict taxonomy or any other
officially sanctioned method of bibliographic description.
