Assunto: penn tags

University of Pennsylvanias del.icio.us-like PennTags project allows readers to tag catalogued items. Its a great way to track resources for a research project and simultaneously make the results of your forays available to future researchers. In fact, it seems just plain selfish not to do so.

Integrating tagging with the book catalogue (and therefore with the book taxonomy) instantaneously provides the best of both worlds: Structured browsing leads you to nodes with jumping off points into the connections made by others who are putting those nodes into various contexts, and tags lead you back into the structured world organized by experts in structure.

My guess is that the folksonomy that emerges will not change the existing taxonomy because in a miscellaneous world you dont have to change something in order to change it. The existing taxonomy could stay exactly as it is, as the folksonomy supplements it by providing synonyms for existing categories (e.g., a search for recipes takes you to the cuisine category of the existing taxonomy) and leaping-off-points from it into the user-created clusters of meaning (e.g., heres the tag cloud for the node youre browsing). Rather than disrupting, transforming or replacing the existing taxonomy, the folksonomy may just affectionately tousle its hair.

Anyway, PennTags looks like a great project.

(U of Penns Library Staff Blog is here. And here is the newtech category of that blog. On a quick browse, this looks like a terrific resource if youre interested in libraries, taxonomies, folksonomies, tagging, etc.) [Tags: penntags laurie_allen taxonomy libraries folksonomy everything_is_miscellaneous tagging ]
