Abstract

Through this paper we propose to know and reflect on the recent possibilities of organization, representation and retrieval of information provided by the advent of Web 2.0, dealing with here, specifically, the use of tagging and folksonomy. We sought to explore conceptual representations, we sought to understand the potential of these concepts based on virtual systems of organization and representation of information. Thus, we reflect on what it takes users to perform the tagging of Web resources and analyze how that motivation relates to the purpose of information retrieval. The research was based on a theoretical investigation with review of literature on indexing, users and knowledge representation schemes on the Internet. Generally, it requires the use of labeling varies among individuals and the systems used. It's not often that the labels are assigned in order to have the hearing, sometimes what you want is to organize the data itself. It is understood, by this study, each individual case is one that requires special attention. It is not possible to study one by one, all groups and sections of information users. It is necessary to bring together groups with similar characteristics.
