The document discusses using a hybrid of taxonomy and folksonomy, or socially collaborative tagging, to create a global community of library users. It defines taxonomy as controlled vocabulary created by experts, while folksonomy involves user-generated tags. A hybrid approach augments formal subject headings with richer metadata from tags. This enhances discoverability and resonates with diverse global audiences. It empowers users and offers a system where taxonomy remains unchanged but folksonomy supplements it with additional terms from user knowledge and backgrounds.

It is imperative to come to a common ground for easy information retrieval by using a hybrid of taxonomy and folksonomy or socially collaborative tagging. Semantic web technologies enable users to create tags to categorize information in their own context . Research shows this tagging approach augments controlled subject headings by providing richer metadata which enhances additional findability of resources for global communities.

In this process the controlled and precise taxonomy created by an expert stays exactly unchanged and the user generated folksonomy supplements it with additional synonyms and semantically related terms representing their knowledge, expertise, social and cultural background, interpretation, and/or their interests. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Taxonomy And Folksonomy Disclaimer: All logos and copyrights belong to their respective organizations.
