Subject: [AI] mais sobre folksonomia controlada
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 13:08:54 -0300
algumas informações complementares sobre o assunto, recebi esse texto e achei muito interessante repassar.... entrem tambem la no meu blog pra ver o que eu escrevi sobre o assunto...
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.
