Classification of Wikipedia
via Social Tagging = categories
Thoughts about classification with:
DDC (not free!)
RVK (only uses in Germany )
Basisclassification
UDC (not free, too)
Vision: A free classification for the net

• Choosen Sources:
• Interesting and specials sources
• which are not aviable in full test
Metadata
• No bibliographic standards
• Goal: cooperation with libraries
• Idea: Downloadable metadatas

Social tagging
• lot of services eg. del.icio.us connotea, Library Thing, citeUlike
• see how other taged a resource
• see which resources others taged with a tag
• find others who are interested in the same field
