Taxonomies and Folksonomies – Tagging as a New HCI Element

Keywords: Tagging, Taxonomie, Folksonomie, Informationsarchitektur, Interaktionsdesign

Tagging is a very popular element on social community websites that fosters user participation and their contributions to add meaning to the data. It has the potential to become a new element to interact with data in the digital world in general. This paper discusses the interactive properties of tagging systems, and the semantics of tagging with respect to the well established notion of knowledge.
