Abstract

This paper proposes a conceptual framework to explore the ways in which people work with in accessing, sharing, and navigating Web resources. In order to provide a better frame of a user's interaction with a folksonomy, an information foraging approach was adapted that denotes adaptive information seeking behaviors of users within human information interaction. A conceptual framework that consists of three different components from users' points of view was proposed: tagging, navigation, and knowledge sharing. This understanding will help us to motivate possible future directions of research in folksonomy and lay the groundwork for empirical research which focuses on qualitative analysis of a folksonomic and users' tagging behaviors.

본 연구는 정보채집(information foraging) 이론을 적용하여 웹 정보자원을 조직, 검색, 공유하는 폭소노미 이용자의 상호작용을 체계적으로 연구, 분석하는 개념적 틀을 제시하고자 한다. 폭소노미 상호작용 이해를 위한 개념적 틀은 최종 이용자의 세 가지 정보행위간의 유기적인 관계로 구성되어 있다: (1) 태그를 활용하여 웹 정보자원을 분류하고 조직하는 태깅; (2) 폭소노미 내에서 유용한 정보 자원을 발견하고 검색하는 정보탐험; (3) 폭소노미를 통해 유사한 관심을 갖고 있는 다른 이용자를 발견하고 커뮤니티를 구성하며, 협업을 통해 새로운 정보자원을 창출해내는 지식공유. 이 틀에서 최종이용자는 정보환경에 유연적으로 적응하며 폭소노미를 통해 줄곧 관심사에 관한 정보를 수집, 모니터하며 다른 이용자와의 효율적인 공유와 검색을 위해 끊임없이 탐험하는 정보채집자(information forager)로 이해된다. 본 연구에서 제시한 개념적 틀은 이용자와 폭소노미의 역동적이고 복잡한 상호작용 현상을 포괄적으로 조망함으로써, 향후 폭소노미를 비롯한 웹 정보서비스의 유용화 연구 설계에 보다 체계적인 이론적 토대를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
