X Abstract

With the advent of Web 2.0 folksonomy systems like Flickr, del.icio.us, etc. have become very popular. They enable users to annotate resources (images, websites, etc.) with freely chosen keywords, so-called tags. The evolving set of such tag assignments, which are generally user-tag-resource bindings, are called folksonomies. Folksonomies embody valuable information that can be exploited by search and ranking algorithms.
