Workshop on Tagging in Dynamic Communities

This is the first workshop of Hypertext 2009, right now the speaker is talking about tagging recommendations using BibSonomy. BibSonomy is a citing bibliography system for citing links and attaching tags to them (like delicious), however this is more similar to CiteULike. In BibSonomy, they have implemented clicklogging to analyze every click that users go to while in BibSonomy to look at their navigation patterns. Clicklogging is used to measure user acceptance of various features such as what recommended tags the user used and to flag users as spammers. They have collected 0.5 million records in 7 months.

The BibSonomy system also has community and personalized ranking to see similar users with similar interests. People can store the links of those users that are similar to them. A question that was arised is whether tag recommendations are good or not.
