Folksonomy

Here's some data as to how many more categories are found through folksonomy than occur in traditional taxonomies.&; Some organizations use these to update their own taxonomies, but it seems to be speculation as to whether any number of categories or classifications are shared by a large number of people.This is an interesting problem to ponder when it comes to subject directories, which can sometimes narrow searches that are so broad from search engines.Even search engines that rank retrieval through number of popular links tend to be broad and don't necessarily evaluate these links.Are links really analogous to citations, for instance?  However,folksonomies do allow user input into the classification process for organizations that still rely on more traditional taxonomies.
