Folksonomy refers to a system of classification derived from the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. It allows users to organize information by applying keywords or tags to resources, with the most popular tags rising to the top organically. Social media and sharing sites have helped popularize folksonomies by allowing users to tag content like photos, videos, bookmarks and posts.
