A tool to have a graph of Del.icio.us' Folksonomy
Tags are spreading everywhere. Most social systems on the Internet are now using them. The big thing is now to relate tags one between another. Some systems works, others don't. I’ll talk of this problem in another post.
For now what is interesting us is to have a graph of del.icio.us' folksonomy. I just found a new java applet, by Joho's blog, which is doing this: Hublog's graph del.icio.us related tags. You enter a tag, your click the button and you obtain the graph of tags related with it.
Is that not so beautiful?
Yes it is, but how it changes my life? Sometime you have a thing to categorize with tags. You have a tag but don't know what other peoples use to strengthen this tag's meaning with other tags with related semantics. So, you only have to use this system and you'll see the other terms that peoples use to describe this tag's meaning.
It's also interesting to use this applet for scientific purposes. It helps to know how a term can be seen by a social network. Then you'll have his social definition. I think that this exercise can be interesting and useful. It's good to check definitions in dictionaries and encyclopedias, but what about the word's meaning saw by a social network?
