The Folksonomy Triangle

It is quite simple model to explain what is folksonomy.

Folksonomy is overrated?

I think folksonomy might be overrated. The vision and principles of folksonomy are reasonable. The problem stems from the realization.

Tagging is a user-oriented cognitive activity, but folksonomy is only statistically weighted terms lists

There is no meanings and relationships among each terms

Sharing and Reusing data limited to host site

Folksonomy itself is NOT solution

what do we need?

Minimal Structure

Minimal Semantic

Unique local tag namespace

• About

  SCOT is an acronym for Social Semantic Cloud of Tags. The name was chosen to emphasise the goal of providing a consistent framework for expressing social tagging at a semantic level in machine-understandable way.

  The SCOT ontology provides a model for expressing the main concepts and properties required to describe information for tagging activities (e.g., users, tags, resources, etc.) on the Semantic Web. This document contains a detailed description of the SCOT Ontology.
