Alex Barnett blog : Corpus and the Anatomy of Words, Tags and Clusters. (Warning, this is a highly unstructured, a random-thoughts-externalized-type-post) First a quick definition: "A corpus is a collection of texts of written (or spoken) language presented in electronic form. It provides the evidence of how language is used in real situations, from which lexicographers can write accurate and meaningful dictionary entries. " The Oxford English Corpus uses English from novels, journals, newspapers, magazines as well as online chatrooms, emails, and blogs. Apparently, it is the largest English language corpus of its type. Why am I telling about a corpus? But it is the software that OEC use, how they use it and the data that I want to mull over with you.
OEC has provided a few screencasts demo'ing the the application in action (no sounds though) showing all sorts of queries against their data. This CQL query is looking for derivatives of the word 'blog' - a concordance query [lemma*"blog*"&tag*"(NNS? <The> Long Tail <of> Words Correlations Stuff You Should Read. Wired 13.04: VIEW. What's the best way to tag, bag, and sort data? Give it to the unorganized masses. VIEW|sterling We used to rely on philosophers to put the world in order. Now we've got information architects.
But they're not doing the work - we are. There's a revolution going on in the art and science of categorization, and its name is folksonomy, a term term invented by information architect Thomas Vander Wal. A folksonomy, on the other hand, arises spontaneously as Net users encounter information, think about what it means, and tag it with descriptive words. Consider Google: Type in "Thomas Vander Wal" and bingo! Folksonomy emerges from a combination of two inventions: (1) machines that can automate at least some of what it takes to classify information and (b) social software that makes users willing to do at least some of the work for nothing.
Thus, Flickr breaks up the world into folksy categories that genuinely interest the online audience. Email Bruce Sterling at bruces@well.com. Flickr API. Straup says: [Note : I work here and this message was also sent to the API mailing list] We are rolling out a new feature called "machine tags" that allows users to be more precise in how they tag, and how they search, their photos.
Many of you may already be familiar with machine tags by another name (triple tags) or because you are already using them, informally, in your code (for example, "geo:long=123.456"). "Machine tags" is the technical term for the extra hamsters we've added to the Flickr servers to formalize how these sorts of tags are treated. For the moment, machine tags are principally an API "thing".
Enjoy! # What are machine tags? Machine tags are tags that use a special syntax to define extra information about a tag. Machine tags have a namespace, a predicate and a value. Like tags, there are no rules for machine tags beyond the syntax to specify the parts of a machine tag. . * flickr:user=straup * flora:tree=coniferous * medium:paint=oil * geo:quartier="plateau mont royal" Yes.

Digital Library of Information Science and Technology (DLIST) is a cross-institutional, subject-based, open access digital archive for the Information Sciences, including Archives and Records Management, Library and Information Science, Information Systems, Digital Curation, Museum Informatics, records management and other critical information infrastructures.
The archive can be used for new materials as well as for classics such as the The Five Laws of Library Science 1931, Ranganathan, S. R. We also are particularly interested in multi-cultural and cultural competency aspects of the DLIST subject domain. Academics, researchers, and practitioners create a wealth of content that includes published papers, instructional materials, tutorials for software and databases, bibliographies, pathfinders, bibliometric datasets, dissertations and reports. DLIST aims to capture this wealth of information in a library that is openly available for re-use and global dissemination. Gruzd_poster_asist_sig_cr.pdf (Objet application/pdf) Upcoming.org: Home.

Classer, trier et taguer pour retrouver : les enjeux documentaires du Web (2.0) - Clever Link - Veille - Clever Age. Jusqu’à la période 2003-2004, les créateurs de contenu constituaient une frange assez marginale des utilisateurs du Web. Les utilisateurs étaient avant tout les consommateurs d’une information produite par quelques sources, et éventuellement reprises sur d’autres pages - les fameuses "pages personnelles" en tête. Avec l’avènement des blogs et de l’expression personnelle, la donne a peu à peu changé, pour finalement donner corps à un nouveau Web, un réseau de services au sein duquel l’internaute est autant créateur d’information qu’il en est consommateur.

E-LIS - Patterns and Inconsistencies in Collaborative Tagging Systems : An Examination of Tagging Practices. Civallero, Edgardo Bibliotecas aborígenes: un modelo para comunidades argentinas., 2004 . In Primer Foro Social de Información, Documentación y Bibliotecas, Buenos Aires (Argentina), 26-28 August 2004. (Unpublished) [Conference paper] English abstract Indigenous peoples are communities facing serious problems worldwide. These unique cultures are submitted to situations of poverty, sickness, illiteracy and identity loss. LIS can use their corpus of techniques and knowledge for the design and implementation of a library model specifically created for satisfying formation and information needs of aboriginal populations. Through this paper, some general aspects of this model are presented.

Tagging_in_RW.pdf (Objet application/pdf) The ESP Game: Labeling the Web. News: Social Bookmarking Showdown. The reason that social bookmarking has exploded in the last year is obvious -- storing your bookmarks online instead of in the browser just makes sense. Social bookmarking services let you keep links to your favorite web destinations in one location that's accessible from any computer on the net. Add the ability to share your favorite web destinations and search through other users' bookmarks to discover new sites, and you've got a highly addictive and truly remarkable phenomenon.
There's a score of services out there, and no single service has it all. Some social bookmarking sites focus more closely on sharing and discovery, while others offer more options for sorting and organizing. Last week, we set out to review some of the more popular social bookmarking websites on the Monkey Bites blog. We discovered that almost all these sites have the same basic features: browser bookmarklets for one-click link saving, RSS feeds, tags and sharing capability.

Folksonomies and Rich Serendipity In my post last week on “How to Killl a Knowledge Environment with a Taxonomy” I made fleeting reference to “rich serendipity” provided by folksonomies.
I’d better explain what I meant by that. What makes folksonomic tagging activity different from “free text” keywords entered into optional metadata fields by publishers of content into content management systems? Why does the serendipity afforded by such (user contributed) keywords seem less powerful than folksonomic tagging? The answer lies in people as knowledge aggregators. The real difference between uncontrolled keywords and folksonomic tagging is that in closed content management systems, the “free text” keywords usually sit unobserved behind the scenes, waiting for a search engine to match them to a search term. Socially exposing the tags has some interesting effects, and this is where Thomas Vander Wal’s definition of a “folksonomy” comes into play: Commenting is not available in this weblog entry. :::..DEFIDOC :: Publications / Dossier "Web 2.0" / Pourrais-je avoir un nuage de tags sur mon site web 2.0 ?

En moins de 25 ans, cette technique s’est imposée à toutes les activités humaines sans exception. Elle fait partie du paysage quotidien professionnel et tend à s’implanter dans les foyers, y compris par le biais des loisirs puisque la télévision, la radio et la vidéo sont désormais numériques.

Des clés pour comprendre l'Université numérique Le terme "Folksonomy" (à partir duquel a été généré le néologisme "folksonomie"), provient de "Folks" (les gens) et "Taxonomy" (" taxinomie " en français : classification d'éléments) : il signifie donc la "classification par les gens". Il s'agit, dans le cadre d'une application ou d'un site web, d'une méthode de classification collaborative de contenus Web , via des tags (" étiquettes " ou " mots-clés "), réalisée par une communauté d'internautes : l' indexation des documents numériques est ainsi assurée par l'usager. Chaque internaute contributeur d'une ressource donnée attribue à celle-ci un ou plusieurs mots-clés qui, pour lui, la caractérisent au mieux.
Par ailleurs, ces mots-clés facilitent la découverte et l' exploration de ressources connexes .

The "social" in social tagging. One of the sessions I regret missing (prior commitments beckoned) at DC-2006 was a "special session" on "Social Networks: Tagging and Dublin Core metadata" facilitated by Liddy Nevile. From what I gathered from chatting with a few people who did attend, looking at some of the presentation materials posted and observing some of the email exchanges afterwards, it seems to have been one of the more successful meetings to have taken place during the conference.
As a result of the meeting, a proposal was made for the formation of a "community" - a forum for open discussion - within DCMI to explore the relationships between the "traditional" approaches to metadata creation and use and the more informal, community-oriented approaches to metadata that have emerged, particularly through the use of "tagging" in the context of various social software systems. (Details of the DCMI Social Tagging Community are now available.) Beneath the Metadata: Some Philosophical Problems with Folksonomy. Background People have been trying to classify and organize information for thousands of years. There are many examples of cataloged items in ancient repositories, including items in the Library of Alexandria in Egypt. Taxonomy arose as an attempt to organize information about plants and animals in the physical world, and Aristotle is often considered the father of classification or taxonomy.
In his Categories, he names Substances (nouns) and determines the nine distinctive things that can be said about a particular thing [1]. How we ultimately name something reflects the category to which we assign it. Taxonomic methodology has also become important in mathematical set theory through discussions of set, class, aggregate, and collection [2]. In today's networked world of digital information, classification has become very important. Traditional Classification Perhaps the most important philosophical underpinning of traditional classification is the phrase, "A is not B".
Folksonomy. DCMI Social Tagging Community. Join this community... News and Announcements Background and open issues The DCMI Social Tagging Community is for those who are interested in investigating how the increasingly common practice of informally tagging resources, known as a process of social tagging, can contribute to the goals of the DCMI. It is clear that there is a lot of work being done that might, if slightly formalised, contribute to the quantum of DC metadata in useful ways. It is also of interest to see how tagging can point to terms that are in common use that may be of interest to those developing ontologies, thesauri and controlled vocabularies. It is not clear how tagging relates to the activities and practices of the Dublin Core general community, or how tags relate to other metadata, but these are considered interesting questions worthy of discussion.
