Folksonomy

An open ended labeling system (such as the use of “tags”) that helps Internet users to categorize content online. Folksonomy is used to categorize web pages, online photographs and web links. It is changing the way that people search for information on the Internet.

The key difference between folksonomy and other labeling systems are that users develop the labels. The labels are freely chosen and completely subjective. As a result, the labels that are created are more “organic” to the group of users.
