Internet & Tagging
We live in a theoretical world where we can enhance our knowledge and gain more understanding about practically anything and furthermore challenge our minds as well as reshape our mindsets and the way we think , feel about certain things that are happening in and around the world. This is all thanks to modern technical devices and new media being exposed to us for instance the internet/worldwide web would have to be one of the most fastest search engines to ever be created, this formation has helped us greatly as now humans have excelled there natural capability to search , research and find things. It has made life and many things including education a whole lot easier to accomplish.
In my earlier blogs I was discussing the offense of hacking together with cyber warfare which leads me to linking these two blogs together as they both communicate well with each other. The reason why I think this is because both share a close bond with internet safety regulations. As many of us use many networks through the internet one of the popular ones being social network you begin to wonder and ask ‘how safe is it?’ I mean a vast amount of the public share lots of information about themselves such as age, name, hometown, address, university/schools, course etc, this allows facebook database to create their own personal profile of you as an individual by just using the information you have shared along with music, photos and pictures that you have either liked or are tagged in.
Folksonomy
"Folksonomy is the result of personal free tagging of information for one's own retrieval. The tagging is done in a social environment (usually shared and open to others) by the person consuming the information."
Metadata
Metadata summarizes basic information about data, which can make finding and working with particular instances of data easier. For example, author, date created and date modified and file size are examples of very basic document metadata. Having the ability to filter through that metadata makes it much easier for someone to locate a specific document.
Tagging
A tag is a keyword used to describe an article or website. Tags are often used in social bookmarking, social news and blog entries to help users search for relevant content.
