Understanding Tagging and Folksonomies

Abstract

A major challenge of dealing with digital content—our own and others—is organizing it. We want to be able to find the piece of content we want, and we want to be able see its relationship to the whole and to other digital content. We might want to be able to reuse this content. Also, most important, we want other people to be able to understand the organization of our digital content so that they can find and reuse it.
