TAGS
Pupils have learnt how to tag during the previous experience (on-paper);
They get confident very soon with the application;
Tag visualization + Tag Cloud are automatically created by the application.

NOISE: ‘colorata’ ‘colorati’ ‘colorato’
SYNOMYMS: ‘quadro’ ‘dipinto’
UPPER / LOWER
CASE
SINGULAR/ PLURAL: ‘persona’ ‘persone’
Agreement on some “rules”:
To employ only lower case;
Not to inflect adjectives;
To employ plural nouns (as if we were thinking of a group of several elements)
“Tiding up Tags”:
Not easy (singular/plural)

Membership > CLASSIFICATION Description > CATEGORIZATION
Third Italian IA Summit - Forlì February 2009 - Renata Durighello 28
Plural nouns refer to the idea that the resource is member of a group / class
Tags are associated to the resource as far as they describe it.

Can I classify?
Classification begins when I’m able to talk about the resource, to say something about it.
Broad Folksonomy VS Narrow Folksonomy:
BF allows to point out the most “important” Tag(s);
Collaborative Tagging
to share rules , euristics,…;
Tag noise
mis-spells, synonims …;
Tag unreliability
harvesting information;
Interference :
Tags meaning membership;
Tags meaning description;
Third Italian IA Summit - Forlì February 2009 - Renata Durighello 31
Whose fault is it?
Trying to arrange the Tags we produced into a taxonomy (card sorting, trees, maps…).
Going on tagging other kind of resources(documents, textual resources).
