Visually emerging vocabularies…
It’s much easier to understand the empirical impact of folksonomies when looking at it from a visual point of view. I find this blog post by Vanderwal.net spot on in my grasp of this topic…I like this proviso relating to the prevention of skewed results:
"It is important to note that folksonomies work best when the tags used to describe objects are in the common vocabularly and not what the person perceives others will call it…"
Based on he’s sample we can see graphically the most used common tags for an item…"that could be used (to)extract a contolled vocabularly…" …I was alluding to this point in an earlier post.
