A Novel Approach to Social Tagging: GroupMe!.
Abstract
Common social tagging systems like Flickr, del.icio.us and
others lately became very popular. The key benefits of these systems
include that users get involved in the content creation process, can
easily --- without overhead -- comment or annotate Web content, share
resources with fellow users, and benefit from the comments / annotations
of other users with improved retrieval support. With GroupMe! we extend
the idea of current social tagging systems by enabling users to not only
tag Web resources they are interested in, but also to create collections
(groups) of these Web resources by simple drag & drop
operations. The grouping metaphor is intuitive and easy for the users, and
our evaluation shows that users appreciate the grouping facility, and use
this feature to organize and structure Web content. Technically, the
grouping of resources carries valuable information about Web resources and
their relations, and can be exploited to improve the mining of Web
content, e.g. for search and retrieval.
