Debbie Journal Presentation GTW 1

Question is for the Presentation: Debbie Journal Presentation
Question is asked by: Gregory Todd Williams
The Question is: Section 2 claims "it is important to note that in terms of knowledge representation, the set of these keywords cannot even be considered as vocabularies, the simplest possible form of an ontology on the continuous scale of Smith and Welty." Footnote 4 in section 3.1 discusses the crawled del.icio.us data as "the largest ontology annotation data set ever studied" (emphasis added), and section 5 continues "in fact, folksonomies are ontologies." Is the distinction between folksonomies and ontologies important (especially in light of folksonomies' lack of one-to-one mapping of tags and concepts)? If so, how are we to understand this apparent confusion in terminology in discussing del.icio.us tag data?
