소셜 메타데이터는 이용자의 자발적인 참여를 통해 정보자원에 대한 풍부한 기술사항을 생성한다는 장점을 지니고 있지만, 조직화 된 구조를 적용하기 어렵다는 특성으로 인해 여러 가지 한계 또한 보이고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소셜 메타데이터의 유형 가운데 태그를 중심으로 LibraryThing에서 활용되고 있는 태그의 의미를 분석하고, 이를 기반으로 기술의 대상이 되는 정보자원의 서지적 카테고리를 제공함으로써 태그의 의미적 조직화를 위한 대안적인 방안을 제안하였다. 서지적 카테고리를 구조적으로 제공하고 이를 통해 태그 부여단계에서 태그의 의미적 조직화를 유도하기 위해 소셜 인포메이션 아키텍쳐를 적용하여 태그의 조직화를 위한 소셜 메타데이터 프레임워크를 구축하였다. 이는 소셜 메타데이터의 조직화를 위한 개념적인 기반을 제공함으로써 향후 태그를 자동화 된 방식으로 조직하는데 활용할 수 있는 의미적 기반을 마련해 줄 것으로 기대된다.
Although social metadata has strengths in creating amount of user-contributed resource descriptions, its function is limited because of its non-systematic characteristics. This research proposed an alternative approach to semantic organization of social metadata. It analyzed the semantics of tags created in LibraryThing in order to provide bibliographic categories for describing information resources. Social information Architecture is adopted in generating the bibliographic categories so that social metadata framework can be constructed. This framework can provide the conceptual foundations for semantically organizing social metadata and is expected to be applied to the existing approaches to automatically organize social metadata.
