Towards Understanding the Motivation Behind Tagging

Christian Körner Graz University of Technology
While recent research has advanced our understanding about the structure and dynamics of social tagging systems, we know little about (i) the underlying motivations for tagging (why users tag), and (ii) how they influence the properties of resulting tags and folksonomies. My work tries to analyze the aims users have when they use such systems. To this purpose I introduce two vastly different types of tagging motivation and corresponding measures and detection measures. Subsequently I give an overview of implications on the structure of social tagging systems. Finally I sketch other types of tagging motivation and illustrate potential methods to differentiate them.

Narrative Hypermedia is...
Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.
Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
