Mapping knowledge communities from download patterns
users across the organization share interests
based on the documents they access
each node
is a user accessing
the system
links identify
users looking
at the same
documents
color identifies position
in the organization

Social tagging
a method of explicit social search
Social bookmarking
Personal bookmarks
Allows users to store and retrieve resources
More than just like or dislike, download or not
categorize & comment
Social tagging systems
Shared tags for particular resources
Each tag is a link to additional resources tagged the same way
by other users
Folksonomy : popular tags
users collectively label items which can then be retrieved by others

Social tagging - Flickr
Image search much
more difficult than
textual search
solution: tagging
One person’s nose
is another person’s
cat or Katze

Vocabulary Problem
Different users use different terms to describe the same
things
Different languages
Polysemy: A single word has multiple meanings
Synonymy: Different words have the same meaning
Abstraction : Tagging a resource in different levels of
abstraction
Animal, cat, Persian cat, Felis silvestris catus, longhair Persian
Missing context : Tags that could not be related with the
images by others
Holiday, me, friends, a person’s name

System Design and Attributes
Tagging rights : A tag can be added or removed by the creator of the resource,
a restricted group or everyone
Tagging support : The mechanism of a tag entry
Blind tagging: a tagging user cannot see tags added by others to the same resource
Viewable tagging: all tags are visible
Suggestive tagging: the system suggests the user possible tags
Aggregation : Systems allow duplicate tagging (bag-model) or prevent (set-
model)
Type of object : web pages, images, videos, songs
Source of Material : Resources can be supplied by the system or the users, or
anything on the web can be tagged
Resource connectivity : links, groups etc. connecting resources other than tags
Social connectivity : The connection between the users may result localized
folksonomies.

Modeling the growth of tagging networks
users become aware of popular items and tag them
users copy others’ tags
users tend to use their own tags…
