Folksonomy and Tagging Introduction from Thomas Vander Wal

Thomas Vander Wal is credited with coining the ‘folksonomy’ term. This one hour “podcast,” recorded at the OZ-IA conference in September 2006, is one of the best introductions to folksonomy and tagging that I have ever heard or read: Folksonomy to Improve IA.

    Hi, Tom
    Since we met at the NIST conference, I’ve pondered how to contract to build a folksonomy or ontology. Would you happen to have a task order that directs an Ontology or Folksonomy to be delivered to a client? And a project management plan that lays out the subtasks and their order of completion, level of effort, etc.?
    thanks and have a good week,
    Jim
