Reference

• Folksonomy: social classification : ..And, of course, there’s no hierarchy and the content types (bookmarks, photos) are fairly simple..
• Understanding Folksonomy: Tagging that Works
• Wikipedia: Taxonomy : ..Taxonomies, which are composed of taxonomic units known as taxa (singular taxon), are frequently hierarchical in structure, commonly displaying parent-child relationships..
• Semantic Studios: Authority : ..For those of us who value a taste of hierarchy along with our hypertext, things were beginning to look a bit dicey..
• Adam Mathes: Folksonomies – Cooperative Classification and Communication Through Shared Metadata
• Tim O’Reilly in What Is Web 2.0 lists directories (taxonomy) as a web 1.0 attribute and tagging (“folksonomy”) as 2.0
