The document discusses hybrid approaches that blend taxonomy and folksonomy. It presents four styles of hybrids: co-existence, tag-influenced taxonomy, taxonomy-influenced tags, and tag hierarchies. Co-existence involves using taxonomy and folksonomy side-by-side while preserving their strengths. Tag-influenced taxonomy uses tags to inform and keep taxonomies fresh. Taxonomy-influenced tagging presents taxonomy terms as options for tagging. Tag hierarchies allow auto-clustering of tags into intelligent hierarchies. The hybrid approaches aim to gain benefits from both taxonomy and folksonomy such as consistency, flexibility, low cost and findability.
