On the distinctiveness of tags in collaborative tagging systems

Research output: Contributions to collected editions/worksArticle in conference proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Authors

We study in a quantitative way whether the most popular tags in a collaborative tagging system are distinctive features when looking at the underlying content. For any set of annotations being helpful in searching, this property must necessarily hold to a strong degree. Our initial experiments show that the most frequent tags in CiteULike are distinctive features, despite the process of annotating documents is not centrally coordinated nor correction mechanisms like in a Wiki-system are used.
