The document summarizes techniques for improving collaborative tagging. It discusses tag suppression, tripartite clustering, and a proposed web-based social network (WBSN) architecture. The proposed techniques aim to address privacy and enhance functionality in collaborative tagging systems. Tripartite clustering simultaneously clusters resources, users, and tags using links in the social tagging network. The WBSN architecture incorporates a bookmarking service and additional services for tag suppression and privacy preservation to broaden collaborative tagging capabilities while preserving user privacy.
