-
Process of annotating resources with tags by users

Pragmatics of tagging The way how users tag, e.g., in a more descriptive or categorizing manner
Tagging semantics The meaning of tags, often dependent on the tag context
- Personomy:
-
A subset of a folksonomy, containing all tag assignments from a specific user to all her resources
- Tagging System:
-
Software system that uses tagging for indexing, establishing a folksonomy
