My overview paper on folksonomies is ready. I’ve the honour to publish it for the italian chapter of the ISKO (International Society for Knowledge Organization). An official presentation will follow at the ISKO Italy-UniMIB meeting : Milan : June 24, 2005.

Some of the topics covered: a story of folksonomies, their properties, the differences with traditional classification schemes and facets, folksonomies in the enterprise.

This paper is meant to be an overview of the mass of posts written in the last months. Nothing is new. I’ve only added a structure and a systematic organization to a selection of the published material.

Please make me know if you find it interesting. Some little corrections may follow in the next hours.
