| |  | Caldarelli, Guido | Folksonomies and clustering in the collaborative system CiteULike read moreAbstract: We analyze CiteULike, an online collaborative tagging system where users bookmark and annotate scientific papers. Such a system can be naturally represented as a tripartite graph whose nodes represent papers, users and tags connected by individual tag assignments. The semantics of tags is studied here, in order to uncover the hidden relationships between tags. We find that the clustering coefficient reflects the semantical patterns among tags, providing useful ideas for the designing of more efficient methods of data classification and spam detection. | 2007 |
| |  | Kim, Hak L. | FCA-based approach for mining contextualized folksonomy read moreAbstract: We present a novel approach to build the contextualized folksonomy and concept hieracrhies from tags of blogosphere based on Formal Concept Analysis. Our approach is based on the assumption that if a blog has the relationships with others, they would use the similar set of tags. We collect the sample data from blogosphere randomly and then build the concept hierarchies on the basis of the inclusion relations(tags) between the extensions(bloggers). We propose the formalization of the contextualized folksonomy in terms of Formal Concept Analysis and show how our approach can be used to create the contextualized folksonmy for blogosphere. We evaluate our approach by considering an already existing tags of blogosphere. | 2007 |

| |  | schke, Robert | Tag Recommendations in Folksonomies read moreAbstract: Collaborative tagging systems allow users to assign keywords—so called “tagsâ€â€”to resources. Tags are used for navigation, finding resources and serendipitous browsing and thus provide an immediate benefit for users. These systems usually include tag recommendation mechanisms easing the process of finding good tags for a resource, but also consolidating the tag vocabulary across users. In practice, however, only very basic recommendation strategies are applied. In this paper we evaluate and compare two recommendation algorithms on large-scale real life datasets: an adaptation of user-based collaborative filtering and a graph-based recommender built on top of FolkRank. We show that both provide better results than non-personalized baseline methods. Especially the graph-based recommender outperforms existing methods considerably. | 2007 |
| |  | Specia, Lucia | Integrating Folksonomies with the Semantic Web read moreAbstract: While tags in collaborative tagging systems serve primarily an indexing purpose, facilitating search and navigation of resources, the use of the same tags by more than one individual can yield a collective classification schema. We present an approach for making explicit the semantics behind the tag space in social tagging systems, so that this collaborative organization can emerge in the form of groups of concepts and partial ontologies. This is achieved by using a combination of shallow pre-processing strategies and statistical techniques together with knowledge provided by ontologies available on the semantic web. Preliminary results on the del.icio.us and Flickr tag sets show that the approach is very promising: it generates clusters with highly related tags corresponding to concepts in ontologies and meaningful relationships among subsets of these tags can be identified. | 2007 |
| |  | Sinclair, James | The folksonomy tag cloud: When is it useful? read moreAbstract: The weighted list, known popularly as a tag cloud, has appeared on many popular folksonomy-based web-sites. Flickr, Delicious, Technorati and many others have all featured a tag cloud at some point in their history. However, it is unclear whether the tag cloud is actually useful as an aid to finding information. We conducted an experiment, giving participants the option of using a tag cloud or a traditional search interface to answer various questions. We found that where the information-seeking task required specific information, participants preferred the search interface. Conversely, where the information-seeking task was more general, participants preferred the tag cloud. While the tag cloud is not without value, it is not sufficient as the sole means of navigation for a folksonomy-based dataset. 10.1177/0165551506078083 | 2007 |

| |  | Niwa, S. | Web Page Recommender System based on Folksonomy Mining for ITNG \’06 Submissions read moreAbstract: There have been many attempts to construct web page recommender systems using collaborative filtering. But the domains these systems can cover are very restricted because it is very difficult to assemble user preference data to web pages, and the number of web pages on the Internet is too large. In this paper, we propose the way to construct a new type of web page recommender system covering all over the Internet, by using Folksonomy and Social Bookmark which are getting very popular in these days. | 2006 |

| |  | Lerman, Kristina | Social Browsing on Flickr read moreAbstract: The new social media sites - blogs, wikis, del.icio.us and Flickr, among others - underscore the transformation of the Web to a participatory medium in which users are actively creating, evaluating and distributing information. The photo-sharing site Flickr, for example, allows users to upload photographs, view photos created by others, comment on those photos, etc. As is common to other social media sites, Flickr allows users to designate others as ``contacts and to track their activities in real time. The contacts (or friends) lists form the social network backbone of social media sites. We claim that these social networks facilitate new ways of interacting with information, e.g., through what we call social browsing. The contacts interface on Flickr enables users to see latest images submitted by their friends. Through an extensive analysis of Flickr data, we show that social browsing through the contacts photo streams is one of the primary methods by which users find new images on Flickr. This finding has implications for creating personalized recommendation systems based on the users declared contacts lists. | 2006 |
| |  | Hotho, Andreas | Information Retrieval in Folksonomies: Search and Ranking read moreAbstract: Social bookmark tools are rapidly emerging on the Web. In such systems users are setting up lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies. The reason for their immediate success is the fact that no specific skills are needed for participating. At the moment, however, the information retrieval support is limited. We present a formal model and a new search algorithm for folksonomies, called FolkRank, that exploits the structure of the folksonomy. The proposed algorithm is also applied to find communities within the folksonomy and is used to structure search results. All findings are demonstrated on a large scale dataset. | 2006 |
| |  | Schmitz, Christoph | Mining Association Rules in Folksonomies read moreAbstract: Social bookmark tools are rapidly emerging on the Web. In such systems users are setting up lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies. These systems provide currently relatively few structure. We discuss in this paper, how association rule mining can be adopted to analyze and structure folksonomies, and how the results can be used for ontology learning and supporting emergent semantics. We demonstrate our approach on a large scale dataset stemming from an online system. | 2006 |
| |  | Veres, Csaba | The Language of Folksonomies: What Tags Reveal About User Classification read moreAbstract: Folksonomies are classification schemes that emerge from the collective actions of users who tag resources with an unrestricted set of key terms. There has been a flurry of activity in this domain recently with a number of high profile web sites and search engines adopting the practice. They have sparked a great deal of excitement and debate in the popular and technical literature, accompanied by a number of analyses of the statistical properties of tagging behavior. However, none has addressed the deep nature of folksonomies. What is the nature of a tag? Where does it come from? How is it related to a resource? In this paper we present a study in which the linguistic properties of folksonomies reveal them to contain, on the one hand, tags that are similar to standard categories in taxonomies. But on the other hand, they contain additional tags to describe class properties. The implications of the findings for the relationship between folksonomy and ontology are discussed. | 2006 |
