21. Conclusion
• Two almost not connected worlds of
• Folkonomy + Taxonomy (F&T)
• #Hashonomy (#)
• Almost not connected because:
• The user can select a #Hashtag as a Enterprise Keywords
• By adding as Enterprise Keyword or Tag a value with # as prefix, user could believe adding a
#Hashtag
• No clear way to understand for an user – confusion!
• Need to doubled maintenance of # and F&T
Marek Carbon - Made In Point GmbH
• No possible to move # to Taxonomy.
• No possible to use F&T in Newsfeed
• No support for activity feeds if a document is tagged with F&T
• „Tag and Notes“ very hidden in the UI. Seems to be „deprecated“...
