Enhancing Navigation on Wikipedia with Social Tags

Understand

Social tagging has become an interesting approach to improve search and navigation over the actual Web, since it aggregates the tags added by different users to the same resource in a collaborative way.

• This way, it results in a list of weighted tags describing its resource.
• Combined to a classical taxonomic classification system such as that by Wikipedia, social tags can enhance document navigation and search.
• On the one hand, social tags suggest alternative navigation ways, including pivot-browsing, popularity-driven navigation, and filtering.
