	Folksonomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Vander Wal has stated that folksonomy is a subset of tagging and it is "tagging that works".
		For this reason, folksonomies should be clearly distinguished from the folk taxonomies studied by anthropologists and linguists.
		Although folk taxonomies are culturally provided and far less amenable to individual invention, they are similar to folksonomies in the sense that both systems reflect a kind of popular consensus, developed in the absence of any systematic rule set.

	Taxonomy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Taxonomy (from Greek ταξινομία from the words taxis = order and nomos = law) may refer to either a hierarchical classification of things, or the principles underlying the classification.
		Mathematically, a taxonomy is a tree structure of classifications for a given set of objects.
		Such taxonomies as those analyzed by Durkheim and Levi-Strauss are sometimes called folk taxonomies to distinguish them from scientific taxonomies that claim to be disembedded from social relations and thus objective and universal.

		Taxonomies are hierarchical classification systems that organize the world around us.
		A taxonomy is a tree structured classification for a set of objects.
		In 1990, based on new discoveries showing the relationships between species it was proposed that the bipartite prokaryote-eukaryote view of life be replaced with a tripartite super kingdom scheme of bacteria, archaea, and eucarya.

	Summary of Glasbern Meeting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Taxonomy was envisioned as a theory-free list of characteristics that could empirically be shown to contribute to a positive life, and further, that could be developed in children and adolescents in collaboration with Youth Development programs.
		The broad goals of the VIA Taxonomy of Strengths and Virtues are to identify characteristics associated with the "good life"; to develop valid and reliable measures of these characteristics; and to apply these measures and accompanying empirical research to Youth Development programs.
		Another concern was that, despite efforts to present the taxonomy as nonexclusive and non-exhaustive, other researchers, believing the taxonomy to be closed to new ideas, might be loath to contribute to or suggest changes to the taxonomy.

		A taxonomy is a controlled vocabulary of terms and or phrases.
		A taxonomy may be used for two major reasons: 1) to limit the choices of field values to a controlled set; and 2) to use terms that are defined by a known source.
		Taxonomies may also be the sources of structured controlled vocabularies for other IMS implementations, such as the educational level, skills and goals within the Learner Profile.

	Fourteen Latin Words for Human Taxonomy Suddenly Come in Handy
		While the bank manager and patrons have hailed Thomas as a hero, the academic community has denounced him as a "doer of things" who risks bringing the keepers of the esoteric into the "horrible light of usefulness." The academic community then deconstructed the race, class, and gender based biases and discriminationosityness of Thomas's heroic act.
		Thomas told reporters he is astonished at the impact this incident has had on his life.
		Thomas went on to tell reporters about the time he lost his virginity after calculating the confidence interval for the average age of the current Supreme Court Justices.

		Although it is frequently attributed to Benjamin Bloom, the taxonomy is actually the result of approximately twenty years of work by a group called A Committee of College and University Examiners.
		Because this taxonomy has existed for close to fifty years, many educators have created lists of verbs that describe behaviors associated with these six classes.

		A human rights/disability taxonomy is necessary to meet these requirements, because the classification provides a common language to facilitate design, implantation and monitoring of a convention.
		For example, such a taxonomy could be referenced from an environmental pathology or a positive view for disability to observe whether all relevant items are included in the pathology.
		A taxonomy would aid in establishing some world harmony as to what are the basic human rights and what conditions must obtain for violation.

	Understanding information taxonomy helps build better apps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Taxonomy represents the foundation upon which information architecture stands, and all well-rounded developers should have at least a basic understanding of taxonomy to ensure that they can create organized, logical applications.
		The term taxonomy was originally borrowed from the life sciences discipline, where a plant or animal is placed in a single spot describing its hierarchical relationship to other plants and animals.
		Using the classic model-view-controller framework, taxonomy structure is the model and taxonomy view is the view.

	Mailgate: comp.human-factors: Re: Taxonomy for text explanation for images
		True it has nothing to do how good they are (as you pointed out), but it does have something to do with keeping focus within a specific area of interest.
		In my point of view (I could be wrong) at least 3 of the examples does not belong in a taxonomy of text explanations - just like paper clips does not belong in a taxonomy of plastic bottles.
		A taxonomy > which excludes bad things is a bad taxonomy, because it is incomplete.

		C values in the oceanic and atmospheric carbon reservoirs (e.g., Kennett and Stott, 1991; Pak and Miller, 1992; Kaiho et al., 1996; Thomas and Shackleton, 1996; Koch et al., 1992, 1995; Stott et al., 1996; Fricke et al., 1998; Bowen et al., 2001).
		Taxonomy follows Thomas (1990) and Thomas and Shackleton (1996), but modified in the use of generic names after Alegret and Thomas (2001) and as discussed in Appendix 1.
		Such a decrease in abundance of large, heavily calcified individuals occurred worldwide (Thomas, 1998), and could have been caused by increased solubility of calcite as a result of high total dissolved inorganic carbon levels resulting from oxidation of methane in the water column.

	A Taxonomy of See-Through Tools
		We also describe a taxonomy of see-through tools, which provides both an overview of the see-through interface system for those interested in understanding its potential, and an understanding of the ways that these tools may vary that will aid implementors of such tools.
		While their taxonomy is concerned almost exclusively with function, ours includes issues of triggering, appearance, motion, and instantiation.
		We have constructed a taxonomy of see-through tools by looking for variability in the ways they respond to five basic events: triggering, generating an action, drawing, moving, and instantiating.

	Joho the Blog: Folksonomy 2x2
		Thomas Vander Wal, who coined the term "folksonomy," I think would label the X axis [Mnemonic: X is a-cross] differently.
		A narrow taxonomy has fewer people tagging and there is only one of each tag applied (= flickr).
		So, if I understand Thomas, a broad taxonomy is really one in which an object can have multiple instances of the same tag, whereas in a narrow taxonomy, an object can only have one instance of each tag.

	System, Model & Legacy
		With the steady increase in scientific knowledge and understanding since then, enhanced by new analytical tools such as DNA, many aspects of today's taxonomies may tomorrow be expanded or replaced by radically new propositions, more or less tempered by disagreements between the "splitters" who emphasize differences and the "lumpers" who concentrate on similarities.
		In contrast to formal zoological taxonomy, common names of animals seldom have anything to do with hidden hierarchical relationships among species, but are simply descriptive, are used in everyday discourse in specific regions or localities, and may change over time.

	Eastern Asian - Eastern North American Phytogeographical Relationships - A History From The Time of Linnaeus To The ...
		Thomas Nuttall's previously overlooked contribution to this topic is discussed, and an annotated appendix of the taxa that he attributed to eastern Asia and North America is presented.
		Charles Darwin's influence on the thoughts and writings of Asa Gray is also discussed, based on published and unpublished letters and manuscripts in the Archives of the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University; the role that this correspondence played in the development of Gray's phytogeographical ideas and Darwin's theory of evolution is considered.
		The purpose of this paper is to trace briefly the historical aspects of the recognition of this distribution pattern and the accumulation of facts pertaining to it, and to summarize the major contributions to the study of this pattern that have been made from the time of Linnaeus to the beginning of the twentieth century.
