Abstract
As evidenced by the growing popularity of sites which provide tagging and annotation functionality, like del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us), Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/), technorati (http://www.technorati.com/), and CiteULike (http://www.citeulike.org/), which already have combined user bases in the several millions, collaborative cataloging, or tagging, provides a workable solution for content organization, use, and exploration for many Internet users. This explosion in user-defined metadata has the potential to improve the way information is organized, navigated, and experienced on the web, and offers the Library and Information Science community the opportunity to augment and refine our existing classification methods and schemes to be more user-friendly, to allow for higher levels of precision and recall, and to enhance the human information interaction experience.
