ABSTRACT
Users' tagging behavior has evolved. Formerly, the majority of users employed tags to label explicit content presented in resources. Now many users assign tags to express more than mere content description. The primary goal of this paper is to investigate how recommender systems change users' tagging behavior. We focused our investigation in the tagging task, modeling tags from a semiotic point of view. The results of a user experiment we conducted show that recommender systems can drive users to change the tag structure adopted.

Survey on social tagging techniques
Social tagging on online portals has become a trend now. It has emerged as one of the best ways of associating metadata with web objects. With the increase in the kinds of web objects becoming available, collaborative tagging of such objects is also ...
I tag, you tag: translating tags for advanced user models
WSDM '10: Proceedings of the third ACM international conference on Web search and data miningCollaborative tagging services (folksonomies) have been among the stars of the Web 2.0 era. They allow their users to label diverse resources with freely chosen keywords (tags). Our studies of two real-world folksonomies unveil that individual users ...
A hybrid approach to item recommendation in folksonomies
ESAIR '09: Proceedings of the WSDM '09 Workshop on Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information RetrievalIn this paper we consider the problem of item recommendation in collaborative tagging communities, so called folksonomies, where users annotate interesting items with tags. Rather than following a collaborative filtering or annotation-based approach to ...
