Good day,
I am looking at a question about the merits of folksonomies versus controlled vocabularies. In particular, I am interested in their application in a business setting. Are there examples of where folksonomies have been successfully implemented in a business and how effective are they.  How does these compare against the more traditional types of classification, such as taxonomies and thesauri. Can the both co-exist in a business setting. Is there a preference for one style or the other. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
