Exploring Folksonomies and Tagging: Enhancing Findability in the Digital Era

This article delves into the concept of folksonomies and tagging, crucial tools that facilitate the addition of keywords, categories, and labels to online content for improved future retrieval and findability. We explore how various platforms, including social media sites, blogging platforms, and bookmarking services, leverage tagging to empower users to categorize their own content. Additionally, we analyze the democratic and inclusive nature of folksonomies, their usability, and the challenges they face, such as lack of precision and synonym control.
