The document discusses hybrid approaches to taxonomy and folksonomy for information organization. It describes how taxonomies and folksonomies each have strengths and weaknesses. Hybrid approaches discussed include having taxonomies and folksonomies co-exist, using tags to influence taxonomy development, and presenting taxonomy terms as tags for users. The document also outlines some corporate social tagging tools.

- 4. The tired 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”
- 12. The tagging hype cycle http://www.pui.ch/phred/archives/2007/05/tag-history-and-gartners-hype-cycles.html
- 17. Message text External News Reports Discussion postings Links Engineering document repositories Success Stories Policies Approved Methods Best Practices Key concept: Not all content is created equally The content continuum Lower Cost Higher Cost Tagging/Organizing Processes Unfiltered Reviewed/Vetted/Approved Lower Value Higher Value
- 19. Hybrid approaches Co-existence Tag-influenced taxonomy Taxonomy influenced tagging Tag hierarchies/ontologies
- 21. Co-existence – public library
- 27. WWW example: ZigTag (2008) Definitions from Wikipedia & Wordnet Tagging with type-ahead against database of 3M unique concepts & 8M synonyms
- 29. Zigtag search Still get problems with uncontrolled tags & recall Interesting relationships from Wikipedia Browesable tag cloud
- 30. Example: myedna (Education.au) http://www.educationau.edu.au/jahia/webdav/site/myjahiasite/shared/papers/tagging_hayman.ppt Fully taxonomy-directed tagging

Editor's Notes
- It’s not all hugs & puppies though. Tagging does have downsides.
- Here’s an interesting image – if you haven’t seen a hype cycle before, Gartner puts these out regularly to indicate the adoption trend of new technologies. The cycle is this: first the technology is created and takes off. People start talking about it, there’s a lot of excitement about potential, and a few innovative companies try their hand at implementing it. As more organizations join, it hits what is called the peak of inflated expectations. Before data starts rolling in about how successful everyone has been with the technology, people start writing blogs and articles on a few star case studies and everyone thinks it will solve all of their problems. Then we hit the trough of disillusionment, where the data starts coming in and we realize that these technologies don’t work out the box, that they need work and don’t apply in all situations. Then those who don’t give up start building best practices and the technology matures, there are more stable vendors, and it enters the slope of enlightenment. We are just starting to climb out of the trough – realizing what we can realistically do with social tagging in the enterprise. As with any trend, it isn’t the panacea that people thought it would be, but it is a useful technique.
