Seeding, Weeding, Fertilizing. Different Tag Gardening Activities for Folksonomy Maintenance and Enrichment.
As social tagging applications continuously gain in popularity, it becomes more and more accepted that models and tools for (re-)organizing tags are needed. Some first approaches are already practically implemented. Recently, activities to edit and organize tags have been described as “tag gardening”. We discuss different ways to subsequently revise and reedit tags and thus introduce different “gardening activities”; among them models that allow gradually adding semantic structures to folksonomies and/or that combine them with more complex forms of knowledge organization systems.
