Not to inflect adjectives;
To employ plural nouns (as if we were
thinking of a group of several elements)
“Tiding up Tags”:
Not easy (singular/plural) Guy, M., & Tonkin, E. (2006).
Folksonomies ,Tiding up Tags?

28. Plural nouns refer to the idea that the
resource is member of a group / class
Tags are associated to the resource as far as
they describe it.
Membership > CLASSIFICATION
Description > CATEGORIZATION

30. Can I classify?
Classification begins when I’m able to talk
about the resource, to say something about it.

31. Broad Folksonomy VS Narrow Folksonomy:
BF allows to point out the most “important” Tag(s);
Collaborative Tagging
to share rules , euristics,…;
Tag noise
mis-spells, synonims …;
Tag unreliability
Whose fault is it?
harvesting information;
Interference :
Tags meaning membership;
Tags meaning description;
Third Italian IA Summit - Forlì February 2009 - Renata Durighello 31
32. Trying to arrange the Tags we produced into a
taxonomy (card sorting, trees, maps…).
Going on tagging other kind of resources
(documents, textual resources).
