Folksonomy: by users, for users

The increasing growth of information sources on the web has made information organization more necessary. During recent years some efforts have been made to organize internet sources such as using public core metadata systems, library clas¬sification systems like Library of Congress (LC) and Dewey Decimal Classification and also user-centered approaches including Web 2.0 and social software. Folkson¬omy is a system of classification which is the result of personal free tagging of dif¬ferent formats of information such as text, data, image and objects. Folksonomy is 15 created from the act of tagging by the person consuming the information. Tagging both advantages and disadvantages for information organization. In the present paper a history of completed researches about the disadvantages of and improving approaches to Folksonomy have been discussed. Some of its advan¬tages are that it is multi-dimensional, it uses the language of the user, promotes us¬ersʹ skills etc.: there are numerous problems with Folksonomy systems derived from the use of uncontrolled keywords which are also considered in the paper.
