Abstract

Within powerful social web interactions, we have witnessed an explosive growth of shared documents on the web. Indeed, the social web has been scaled up with massive shared web resources annotated by ordinary folks. The collection of folks’ tags creates a folksonomy. This collaborative tagging system enables an open exploration of each user’s tags describing web resources. Despite its simplicity of organizing web resources, it rises up ambiguous and inconsistent tags that semantically weaken the description of web resources’ content. To achieve an enriched and structured map of knowledge, it is essential to optimally retrieve organized web resources through pertinently describing them with relevant descriptors “metadata”. This article represents a combined semantic enrichment strategy using collaborative tagging guided by ontology towards pertinently describe web resources. In fact, relevant measures of performances attest the efficiency of our proposal that explores relevant folksonomy’s tags to extract web resources’ content main keywords and retrieve matching terms from a defined lightweight ontology. The alignment of social labeling with the ontology’s formalism will implicitly build an emergent semantic of enriched web resources that will establish new challenges to improve context-aware recommender systems of web resources.
