Folksonomies paper: Power to the people
At a conference later this week, Emanuele Quintarelli will present the paper Folksonomies: power to the people. It's seems to be a good overview of folksonomies, including their benefits as well as limitations. One small part deals exclusively with enterprise folksonomies.
This is a perfect read at the beach this summer.
