The Montague Institute will hold a teleconference roundtable discussion on
May 17, 2007 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm Eastern time.
The topic of discussion is how to combine the creativity of "social tagging"
with the rigor of professional document indexing. For more information, see
http://www.montague.com/roundtable33.html. Those who need some background on
this topic can attend the pre-roundtable primer "Tagging strategies" via
teleconference on May 16 (see http://www.montague.com/primer4.htm).
Bradley Allen of Siderean and Rafael Sidi of Elsevier will describe a pilot
project in which RSS is used to import keywords generated through a social
tagging application into separately defined taxonomies using either Dublin
Core or SKOS. Users can then use either the "folksonomy" or the controlled
vocabulary - or the combination - in a search application.
