Paper Abstract:
|
The folksonomy technique represents an initiative for the organization of the information available on the Web. However, even systems that apply this technique suffer with problems of lack of quality and information overload when the number of their users grows. Regardless of these problems, a wide range of systems became available allowing the categorization of several distinct kinds of objects, but without any level of integration among them. In this paper, we present a critical analysis about the folksonomy technique, their nature, advantages, problems and challenges. We also propose two approaches for improving the results obtained with folksonomy. Indeed, we argue that the question now is how and when assisting users when they are interacting with folksonomy-based systems, in order to make the use of folksonomy more useful in information organization and retrieval on the Web. |
