Week 6: Collective Intelligence — Folksonomies

Welcome back! Hope everyone had a great long weekend. This week we’re on to folksonomies and here’s your short slideshow for the week (10:39). I’ve posted the links/references from the video below the embed. I had a spot of trouble with audio right at the beginning of the slideshow — you will hear a slight skip in the audio, but it only accounts for about 1.8 seconds and doesn’t actually miss much!

I’ve added a couple of reminders to this week’s content page, so don’t forget to have a read through.

• Taxonomy on Wikipedia
• NAICS industry codes (example of a taxonomy)
• Popular tags on Flickr (example of a folksonomy)
