Context-powered (social wisdom of the crowd) tagging

without comments

When a registered user decides to tag something with some terms, the systems asks to compare shared tags between the new source and recently added such by the same user or by his friends. By friendship the system understand users with similar tagging of one material or friends through social networking service like Facebook, or both.

Tags are not simply statements like “This ‘url’ material is ‘tag-term1′, ‘tag-term1′ and ‘tag-term3′”, but are used as “This ‘url’ material is ‘tag-term’ more than ‘url-already-tagged1′, ‘url-alreday-tagged2′ and few than ‘url-already-tagged3′, ‘url-already-tagged4′”. Every tagging term can be used as a comparison between materials.

Presenting users with social encouraging analyzes of common understandings on topics and what their friends have tagged enables a unique way to make new friendships and understand more about your friends.

This way tags can become context-oriented and gain meaning with more of their usage like Semantic web RDF terms which are pre-defined by definition.

Browsing tagged content can give the system more about the characteristics of the user in relation with the registered users tagged the content and the friends of the letter. This gives an ultimate way to determine which ad to present.

I have red a paper on Foundations and Technologies of The Semantic Web in 5th National Student Scientific-Technical Conference in city of Sozopol (Bulgaria, Europe), 27-30 September, 2009. On the letter I have presented a comparison between semantic web and the so-called wisdom of the crowd stuff.

This was inspired by the answers I have received to my questions in this event.

Migrate E-mail conversation to a Wiki

with one comment

E-mail conversations as wiki pages are able to be edited by every collaborator in the discussion (mailing). Avoid long conversations kept in many messages, but keep all the important things in one place, and in the same time save all the revisions (every expression of though during the process of collaboration) in a more accessible and easy (user-friendly) way.

Initiator of a collaboration
TO:
FROM:
can Read&Write (R&W) the wiki
can give R&W access, can take back R&W or W only access

CC:
can only Read
as everyone else can receive Write access by someone who has such access

People can invite themselves to collaborate. But only the initiator has an administrative rights to kick someone out from the wiki.

A new way to migrate from the old mail style to the new Enterprise 2.0 with all the additional social networking tools based on this new way.
Installed onto a web based mail system, which can connect to your old mail message box and present its content to you as a conversation wikis.

Mail conversation consists of 2 /two/ atoms:

  1. Revision of a mail message (negotiation). Adding, erasing, editing mail content. A concrete discussion on the work

  2. General conclusion, advise, mark, note. Mostly used by bosses and leaders which present the future of the project.

1-> collaboration is made by repeating, declaring agreement or disagreement, not commenting (passive) (often by a boss who says which are the next steps to take only)

Agreement is an independent view of the user and is related to revision of the agreement content. Like a post in a forum.

A new wiki feature:

Added on 25 Aug 2008: SocialText.com provides wiki in dashboard creation from e-mails. There is a deeply thinked policy behind this product feature. You receive an e-mail and if you want to share it with your team, just e-mail it on the dashboard (custom created mail address which automatically transmits the received data to the dashboard) and a new wiki page is created in it presenting collaborators in the team ability to edit and comment on this newly created wiki page. After the work is done you collect their work where and by whatever technology it have to be send.
