SIG-team,
A link here to an interesting article in last week's Computing Magazine
(VNU Pub) that will be of interest to this list
'Taxonomies and Folksonomy'
http://195.74.122.210/~twbell/CRM/folksonomies.png
In addition to the advent of 'folksonomies', there are two things to note:
- 68% of surveyed institutions described taxonomies as being
'imperative', 'important' or very important' to business strategy.
- the term 'taxonomy' has apparently entered common parlance
Also see a commentary on the use of 'folksonomies' in the 'Flickr'
online image program:

These points all show that what the CRM-SIG members are doing is slowly
moving out of the realm of information scientists and into that of the
end user.
