Starts off quite benignly...more thinking on tagging systems, indexing etc...but gets into some quite dense stuff in ontological theory.

Makes some excellent points about how folksonomies have an interesting secondary effect, where the items tagged themselves start to define the scope of the tags. Plus, suggestions are made about how others have tagged the same item, much in the same way as the popularity ratings of Digg and Amazon. (People who bought this book also liked...) Reverse engineering of these folksonomies will enable a deeper indexing based on democratic semantics.
