Hybrid
Approaches
to
Taxonomy &
Folksonomy!


Or

…how I learned to
stop worrying and
enjoy the chaos


      Stephanie Lemieux
The tired – and mythical - debate

    Taxonomy                Folksonomy
    Control                 Democracy
    Top-down                Bottom-up
    Arduous process         Just do it
    Accurate                Good enough
    Restrictive             Flexible
    Static                  Evolving
    Expensive to maintain   Low cost – “crowdsourced”
What if we blended them?!

Taxonomy!                                                 Folksonomy!


       Oversight                                              User
                                                             Terms
                   Consistency                    Low Cost


                                         Social
                           Structure


                                   Flexibility

                     Use side by side
                     Preserve strengths, keep

                      philosophy pure

                       Variation: tag mediation
7
Co-existence – corporate e.g.

      Raytheon employee portal
      Suggested sites feature box

      User-submitted keywords

Tag-influenced taxonomy
9



                 Use tags as candidates
                 Vet formally

                 Keep taxonomy “fresh”

                 Explore automated support




                       Tags are just as good a
                       source for terms as
                       search logs, if not better!!

     Folksonomy
Taxonomy-influenced tagging
11



                  Present choices from
                   controlled vocabulary
                  Give option to enter tag?



                Benefits:
                  Folksonomy ease

                  Taxonomy consistency

                  Hybrid findability

                    Auto-clustering
                    Intelligent tags

                         Machine-readable
                                         tags

Conclusions

         Tags & folksonomies : different sweet spots
         Use one to enrich the other
         Hybrid applications gaining popularity
          … even within the enterprise
         Intelligent tags will get smarter
Taxonomy & !
