SUMMARY:Folksonomy & Taxonomy
LOCATION:Virtual
DESCRIPTION:What if we let users drive the taxonomy?
\n
\nThere is a lot of
  dialogue and research being conducted on folksonomies - also known as soci
 al tagging. Is it effective? How can we use folksonomy in the corporate env
 ironment?
\n
\nEmma Tonkin from the University of Bath will talk about how 
 research projects in recent years have centered around the analysis and des
 cription of user tagging practice and the resulting data sets. She will pro
 vide a brief description of their approach towards data collection and anal
 ysis of large tag sets, and highlight a few potential uses for a successful
  model of user tag sets.
\n
\nLaurie Damianos will describe an ongoing tech
 nology investigation at MITRE to assess the value and utility of social boo
 kmarking on a corporate intranet. They hypothesize that social bookmarking 
 would be useful in this environment for resource management, information sh
 aring and discovery, expert finding, and social networking. She will discus
 s features of the prototype system deployed and early analysis of findings 
 on adoption, usage, and social influences. She will conclude with our chall
 enges and plans for future development and integration into the enterprise
