Glossary

Tag A:

descriptive keyword entered by a human individual with the objective to describe a resource (e.g., a photo, a web page). It is also called an annotation or user-generated content

Resource:

In the context of this work, a multimedia content (e.g., text file, photos, videos, web page) available on the Internet. A resource is generally identified by an URI (Unique Resource Identifier) which enables its access using the REST protocol

Social Bookmarking System:

Web-based systems allowing users to describe resources with tags

Social Bookmark:

Tag in the form of a link to a resource (e.g., web page) that is intentionally stored, and possibly shared, by an identified individual on a social bookmarking system, on which individuals can attach tags

Folksonomy:

Whole set of tags that constitutes an unstructured collaborative knowledge classification scheme in a social tagging system
