This paper analyzes a representative snapshot of Flickr and presents and evaluates tag recommendation strategies to support the user in the photo annotation task by recommending a set of tags that can be added to the photo.
The complex dynamics of collaborative tagging
611 Citations2007Harry Halpin, Valentin Robu +1 more
A generative model of collaborative tagging is produced in order to understand the basic dynamics behind tagging, including how a power law distribution of tags could arise and how tag co-occurrence networks for a sample domain of tags can be used to analyze the meaning of particular tags given their relationship to other tags.
Journal of Web SemanticsOntologies are us: A unified model of social networks and semantics
490 Citations2007Peter Mika
This work extends the traditional bipartite model of ontologies with the social dimension, leading to a tripartite modelof actors, concepts and instances, and demonstrates the application of this representation by showing how community-based semantics emerges from this model through a process of graph transformation.

It is shown that final tag frequencies for most resources converge to power law distributions and an empirical method is proposed to examine the dynamics of the convergence process, based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence measure.

A first look is taken at whether hashtags behave as strong identifiers, and thus whether they could serve as identifiers for the Semantic Web, and introduces some metrics that can help identify hashtags that show the desirable characteristics of strong identifiers.
