What Is Social Tagging?
Social Tagging, or a folksonomy, is a user-generated taxonomy used to categorize and retrieve web content, such as Web pages, photographs, and Web links, using open-ended labels called tags. The Philadelphia Museum of Art now offers online visitors the ability to "tag" objects in the online collection in an attempt to improve access to these works of art for themselves and others.
Browse the online collection by clicking on any of the randomly selected user-contributed tags below or search the collections using keywords. Tags which have been used the most appear larger in size.
