» A practice for people to organize and share information in

<h3>

|
Folksonomy
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Folksonomy is a system of classification that is created by
|
|
individual people, rather than by professionals (who
|
|
sometimes refer themselves as experts) such as archivers or
|
|
librarians. It is a fashion for people to collaboratively
|
|
tag and categorize information, often using keywords or
|
|
labels.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Characteristics
|
|
</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Among the characteristics of folksonomy are: independency,
|
|
collaborativeness, and being dynamic;
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tags are self-generated by individual people, not by a
|
|
centralized authority;
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tags can be added by multiple people to the same item,
|
|
and thereby they create a collective understanding;
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tags can be added, removed, and updated over time,
|
|
reflecting evolving usage, accuracy and interests;
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no single source of truth or control over the
|
|
tagging process.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Benefits
|
|
</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Because people can easily find relevant content by searching
|
|
for specific tags; and shared tagging promotes collective
|
|
understanding and knowledge creation; and people feel more
|
|
involved and empowered by contributing their own insights,
|
|
which consequently also fosters serendipitous discovery.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The benefits of folksonomies spans from improved
|
|
discoverability of contents to enhanced collaboration and
|
|
increased engagement of people by contributing and
|
|
benefiting to the overhaul system.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In addition, tagging in folksonomies generates an
|
|
extraordinary wealth of metadata which is associated with
|
|
each item.
|
|
By this rich metadata, which consists of self-generated
|
|
tags, provides additional and valuable information and
|
|
context that often enhance searchability, discovery, and
|
|
browsing capabilities.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Impact
|
|
</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It was written in Adam Mathes' recent paper on folksonomies that:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="quote">
|
|
“There is a fundamental difference in the activities of
|
|
browsing to find interesting content, as opposed to direct
|
|
searching to find relevant documents in a query. It is
|
|
similar to the difference between exploring a problem space
|
|
to formulate questions, as opposed to actually looking for
|
|
answers to specifically formulated questions. Information
|
|
seeking behavior varies based on context.”
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4>
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By practicing and engaging in folksonomy systems, people
|
|
find many interesting resources that are related to their
|
|
special and specific needs, that they could not have found
|
|
using search engines. Blasta has some interesting advantages
|
|
over search engines, and one of them is being folksonomy
|
|
driven.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The power of the people cannot be more evident than the
|
|
awesome resource that is Wikipedia, albeit is has been
|
|
gradually controlled by
|
|
<a href="https://www.fivefilters.org/2023/glenn-greenwald-on-wikipedia-bias/">
|
|
special interests</a>. Imagine what might happen if a search
|
|
engine (e.g. YaCy) can be engineered by people!

“I think the lack of hierarchy, synonym control and semantic
|
|
precision are precisely why it works. Free typing loose
|
|
associations is just a lot easier than making a decision
|
|
about the degree of match to a pre-defined category
|
|
(especially hierarchical ones).”
|
