Everywhere people have to tags things, any things. People have to think about how they will classify an entity. They will think about the best words that would semantically describe a given digital document. The best thing that tagging can bring is the &#8220;classification of documents described by semantically related keywords&#8221; behavior of the Internet users.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fgiasson.com\/blog\/index.php?title=wikipedia_as_a_collaborative_editing_ont&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1\">As I talked in that post<\/a>, there are two ways to create an ontology for the semantic web: collaboratively or non-collaboratively. The easiest and less expensive way to create an ontology is definitely by collaboration. However, who say collaboration, usually say anybody that has a personal computer and an Internet access can collaborate to it. Without any knowledge and practice of describing semantically an entity, the ontologies would be near useless considering that anybody could describe anything by anything. <\/p>\n<p>It is why the learned behavior of tagging is essential for the future development of collaborative ontologies development. If that skill is not globally learned (at least for the people that would describe something in an ontology) resulting ontologies would be worthless and even destructive for the semantic web.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tags\">tags technorati : <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/semantic\" rel=\"tag\">semantic<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/web\" rel=\"tag\">web<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/ontologies\" rel=\"tag\">ontologies<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/tag\" rel=\"tag\">tag<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/tags\" rel=\"tag\">tags<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/tagging\" rel=\"tag\">tagging<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/social\" rel=\"tag\">social<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/learning\" rel=\"tag\">learning<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/behavior\" rel=\"tag\">behavior<\/a> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tagging is everywhere.
