Understanding folksonomy: catalyzing users to Enrich information
Vander Wal, Thomas
Written by the high-level consultant who coined the term folksonomy, this vital book offers developers an easy and inexpensive way to categorize website data. With this practical book, web developers learn to create complex categorization data systems by letting users of the data leave markers -- tags -- that make it easier for them to search. Understanding Folksonomy gives developers everything they need to get started, and explains how simple tagging can solve complicated problems. Thomas Vander Wal has been working with folksonomies since their darkest origins, and is credited with inventing the terms 'folksonomy' and 'infocloud'. He talks and writes about folksonomies more or less continuously. Thomas has been on the Steering Committee of the Web Standards Project and helped found the Information Architecture Institute.
