Folksonomy talk

Over the last few weeks I have been concentrating on more formal writing hence the limited number of blog entries. Once this formal writing reaches a point where I feel comfortable with the structure and content I will most probably publish it up here, until then hold tight. In the meantime I have come across a couple of very interesting links related to tagging and folksonomies that are worth remembering.

David Weinberger has a very interesting post and comment thread named 'What is a folksonomy anyway?' where he tries to come to terms with exactly what a folksonomy is and how it comes about. It is commonly agreed that a folksonomy is a set of user generated tags assigned to related pieces of content, but the real question is what role does the process of tag creation have to play in the establishment of a true folksonomy?
