Abstract : Collaborative tagging systems (CTSs), also known as
folksonomies, have grown in popularity on the Web and social tagging has
become an important feature of many Web 2.0 services. It has been argued
that the power of tagging lies in the ability for people to freely
determine the appropriate tags for resources without having to rely on a
predefined lexicon or hierarchy. The free-form nature of tagging causes
a number of problems in this social classification scheme, such as
synonymy and morphological variety. However, social tagging can be a
valuable source of information to help in the organization of Web
resources. In this paper we present an empirical analysis carried out to
determine the importance of social tagging in Web page classification.
Experimental results showed that tag-based classification outperformed
classifiers based on full-text of documents.
