Interesante presentación del documento The Wisdom in Tweetonomies: Acquiring Latent Conceptual Structures from Social Awareness Streams, presentado en el Semantic Search 2010 Workshop (SemSearch2010), dentro de la 19ª Conferencia Internacional World Wide Web Conference (WWW2010).
El el documento se presenta el concepto Tweetonomía:
"In the paper, we introduce the notion of
tweetonomies, and a corresponding tri-partite model of social awareness streams that extends the existing model of folksonomies by accomodating user-generated syntax (such as
slashtags and
other emerging syntax) and thereby integrating the communicative nature of such streams.
In the figure below, we have applied the network-theoretic model of tweetonomies to acquire a semantic network of hashtags that could be used for a range of different purposes, such as for navigating social awareness streams or for recommendation problems.

Our work shows that tweetonomies are a far more complex structure than – for example – taxonomies or folksonomies. One reason for that observation lies in the dynamic and user-generated nature of its
syntax, but also in the fact that tweetonomies accomodate a much richer language than the language used in social tagging systems (tweets vs tags).
The results of our work suggest that tweetonomies are a novel and promising concept, different from taxonomies and folksonomies where people engage in conscious acts of classification. Whether tweetonomies have the potential to bring order and structure to social awareness streams similar to the way folksonomies brought order to social tagging systems remains a question to be answered."
