folksonomy rather than standardization. No repository (unless you view the whole web as a repository). Not dependent on time or place. Doesn’t always help you meet a specific learning objective. no grades/ratings/certifications. Relies on peer-to-peer interaction. Relies on interaction with internet media.
A folksonomy results from distinct ways of organizing cultural categories developed from the tags, keywords, people use to describe specific content, or services, on the web. The emphasis in folksonomies is on organizing data, not making friends. social networking.
Folksonomy (11) Knowledge (233) Off-shore (7) Leadership (44) Creative Commons (16) Back when we still had hope that folksonomy (tagging) would make sense of the flood of content. Seems so long ago. :) How about 2005 ?
How might we begin to understand the issues surrounding folksonomies, peer learning, or collaborative informal learning that seem to occur spontaneously, outside the classroom, spanning the entire globe - using old theories that were written to describe what happens in a classroom?
Folksonomy folktales - KM World. Folksonomies are the exact opposite of the wisdom of crowds. "In fact we find the structure of the brain is ripe for change. We've shown that it is possible for the brain to condition its own wiring system to operate more efficiently.". The Dewey Decimal System is not a good example of a taxonomy.
So for me, it's not quite the folksonomy effect that most people talk about, but based on these articles, I'm starting to think that's what other people are finding as well. Sharing - I tag items that I plan to share with a specific tag so that others in my group can find it.
And if that is not enough they connected these two to Ontologies, Taxonomies, Folksonomies and controled vocabularies. I watched his video just now and it is a must see for everybody who works in corporate e-Learning. A lot of fancy words for structured tags that declare what content is about.
There is also evidence that learning communities informally decide their own priorities, often observed in the emerging folksonomies that result when digital content is organised, shared and curated. Students can, and do, create their own personalised learning pathways.
I hope to explore some of the possibilities and potential of tools such as blogs, wikis, microblogs and aggregators, and will also explore mashups, social tagging, and concepts such as 'wisdom of crowds' and folksonomies. Tags: Manish Malik Folksonomy blog Web 2.0 It will be a tall order, I'm sure, but I'm confident it will be OK.
has seen as shift toward user generated content, and the emergent property of folksonomies. Where Learning 1.0 was organised around taxonomies and content was largely expert generated, Learning 2.0 We have known for some time that people learn better when they are actively engaged in making things, solving problems and engaging with others.
The emergent properties of content organisation are folksonomies, and are the product of loose organised that is bottom-up rather than top-down. This content is generated not only by the experts, but also increasingly by the learners themselves, and tends to be organised by the community rather than by the experts.
collaborative tagging, social networking, mash-ups, and wikis), lightweight representation of semantics and metadata is used in the form of folksonomies, user comments, and ratings. Collaborative tagging and folksonomies for multimedia learning objects. Due to the intensive use of Web 2.0 techniques (e.g.
Web-lish to replace English runs the title, and the author, Ben Camm-Jones writes: 'New words coined to describe things we encounter on the internet can be pretty awful, but 'folksonomy' has been voted the worst of the lot.'

We have previously explored a number of learning theories, new learning technologies, concepts around crowdsourcing, wisdom of crowds, folksonomies and user generated content, Web 2.0, The group wiki is here if anyone wishes to view some of their content. mobile learning and a whole host of other themes during the course.
tools (I demonstrated the wisdom of crowds, folksonomies and social tagging through a number of 'get out of your seat' activities which seemed to go down well) and problem based learning.
Finally, we cannot afford to ignore the growing influence of mobile phones and apps as a disruptive force and the capability they have of enabling any time, any place learning.
The alternative, of course, is a bottom-up effort whereby users apply their own tags to online content, evolving in the process what are now commonly known as folksonomies.

Folksonomy: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mess (podcast). Discussion of variouss topics important to folksonomies. The changing conception of knowledge, the idea of knowing (and learning) as a network phenomenon, and how that changes how we should approach metadata and in particular learning object metadata.
Remember when people thought that stuff like folksonomies and tagging and wikis and blogs and micro-blogging and activity streams and GAMES would NEVER get inside the corporate firewall? Will companies EVER EVER EVER EVER wise up and provide actual training for their people in how to produce quality visuals?
It will lead to the classification of knowledge through folksonomies and to the extended web which combines social and information richness. Well, this is the subject of my LEARNTEC lecture. Let me just tell you that the transition into Web 3.0 will be very semantic, very meaning-based. The future is very exciting.
Leslie Marmon Silko, Laguna Tribe Wikipedia's Word on Folksonomy. There's a debate at the online encyclopedia Wikipedia about a new listing for the word folksonomy, which it defines as "a neologism for a practice of collaborative categorization using freely chosen keywords." You don't have anything if you don't have the stories.

This approach leverages the data and actions of your employees, resulting in a dynamic folksonomy of sorts that can be used for social learning as well as organizational curation. People-Driven.
The Name Game - folksonomies - CIO. From a collaboration and knowledge-sharing perspective, that's what's neat about folksonomies. He talks about technologies, how they are now aimed inward and gives a number of s curve examples. You can see what your colleagues are interested in.
BTW, the art of tagging by folks who are not librarians or catalogers is called “folksonomy.”). Unlike library subject cataloging, which follows a strict set of guidelines (i.e., Library of Congress subject headings), tagging is completely unstructured and freeform, allowing you to create connections between data any way you want.
Tom Wambeke's (KATHO, Belgium) session entitled 'Educational Blogging: in search of a general taxonomy', concluded that folksonomies were less hierarchical and more appropriate measures of blogs. What was good about these sessions was that they all dovetailed into each other.
Folksonomies? The Education Podcast Network is "an effort to bring together into one place, the wide range of podcast programming that may be helpful to teachers. Screencasting Del.icio.us. Organic metatags? Del.ioci.us? Self-organizing ontologies? The Power of Design. The evidence of design's power is everywhere.
Why RSS and Folksonomies Are Becoming So Big. An RSS feed is a blog distilled to its core essence. If you look at the output of an RSS feed in a reader, you'll see no comments, no trackbacks and (for the most part) no design. It's the better blog. It's pure data. Deep, Dark Secrets of His and Her Brains.

I also love the idea of Folksonomies instead of taxonomies. It's a must read for all instructional designers, heck everyone should read it.but I digress. The concept of taskonomy REALLY rings true for me. Especially in this new web2.0 I think the idea of user, or group generated tagging and organization is VERY closely related to taskonomy.
As designers, we need to provide templates for meaningful contributions of one peer to another, perhaps a sample blog entry to use as a model, or a method of standardizing contributions, a list of key words so the folksonomy is limited, something that ties strategies to contributions to encourage learning and retention of the content contributed.
before rss, news aggregators, blogrolls, technorati tags and folksonomies, most "webbies" would wander around from site to site, following whatever link caught their imagination. (thus the power of bookmarking services like blinklist , de.licio.us , and the like.) back in the barbaric dark ages of web 1.0
We want folksonomy not heirarchy. All you are doing by advocating that Twitter groups are not necessary is imposing a structure upon the social web that should not be imposed. By making a rule (I know it is a proposal) that you 'shouldn't do something' you impose a hierarchical constraint. You are right that Twitter is not Facebook.
And, of course, this principle is massively extended online as users collaborate to create folksonomies to sort the millions of items to be found in flickr, del.icio.us, YouTube and endless other sites.
Podcasting, videocasting, Corporate YouTube, Tagging, folksonomies vs. taxonomies, social networking, are a few of the elements that make up the new ecosystem we called Learning2.0. The debate will continue but I still wave the banner. (At At least until next year.but you'll have to read the next post to see what's coming in '07.)
This approach leverages the data and actions of your employees, resulting in a dynamic folksonomy of sorts that can be used for social learning as well as organizational curation. People-Driven.
Vander Wal, who coined the term “folksonomy,” focuses on the huge untapped potential for social tools with discussions about making it easier for enterprise social tool adoption, tagging, getting tools to mesh, modifying Web 2.0 approaches for the enterprise, interface/interaction design for ease-of-use, sociality and encouragement of use.
Postmodernist views of society can be appropriated as lenses to analyse the personalised use of digital technology. Consumers of Web based content tend to search randomly and nomadically, due to the multi-layered, multi-directional nature of hyperlinked media and this aligns neatly with some post modern theory.
Previous posts in this series tracked the development of educational technology over 40 years. I first started working in the field of educational technology in January 1976, at a time when technology was used more for teaching than it was for learning.
Taking issue with it in his blogpost he says: "A folksonomy loses its qualities as a folksonomy once you have someone 'organising' it, and will quickly become a taxonomy." There always has to be some organisation at an individual level, or there would be no folksonomy at the community level - all would remain chaotic.
