Which of the following best describes a folksonomy in social bookmarking?

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

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 a Unique Resource Identifier (URI) 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, in which individuals can attach tags

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

What is Folksonomy quizlet?

A folksonomy is a system in which users apply public tags to online items to aid them in re-finding those items. This can give rise to a classification system based on those tags and their frequencies, in contrast to a taxonomic classification specified by the owners of the content when it is published.

Which of the following best describe a tag cloud?

Which of the following best describes a tag cloud? It is an online repository where only teachers can tag resources. According to advocates of online and blended education, which of the following is a primary advantage of virtual learning? Virtual schools provide needed academic resources for homeschooled students.

What best describes tagging?

So tagging means assigning a keyword or phrase that describes the theme of a group of articles, photos, videos, or other types of media files as a way to organize them and access them easily later. A tag can also be used to assign a piece of content to another user.
