A Semantic Social Bookmarking System Based on a Wiki-Like Approach

The advent of Web 2.0 has provided users with the ability to actively participate in the building, management and sharing of contents. This new modality to experience the Web has led to the development of new ways of collaborative knowledge creation, which have promoted the spread of the earliest user-generated contents, not only textual ones but also multimedia ones. The most important example of collaborative knowledge base on the Web is definitely Wikipedia. The increasing involvement of users in the management and organization of Web content has encouraged the development of other forms related to the knowledge organization and dissemination, including social networks and social bookmarking systems. The proposed work deals with the development of an innovative system of social bookmarking based on a semantic wiki-like approach, characterized by an ex-ante classification conducted on two axes: one vertical (hierarchical and taxonomic axis) and one horizontal (folksonomic axis through tags).
