Unfolding Ontology: the topology of tagging
digital digs: Unfolding Ontology: the topology of tagging
Very interesting. Yet another take on the Shirky proposal that tagging and ontology is going to be ineffective. Digital Digs proposes that a more bottom up (where a world-view is derived from folkonomy type concepts) approach might work.
The problem I see with the bottom up approach, is that it is based on perception (or worse, prevaricative perception, such as the failed metatag experiment with our current version of the internet), rather than transmitter's intent.
The plot continues to thicken . . .
