BBC Folksonomy

  • Mike Harper

Folksonomy is a grass-roots way of classifying content. It's more accessible than using formal taxonomies but it's not really clear whether it would eventually lead to a standardisation of terms.

It seems to me that the BBC might be in an ideal position to assemble tags and create some coherence in all sorts of areas, for example in the categories used for news articles.
