When users use tags they often have a rich semantic structure in mind, which can not be fully explicated using existing tagging systems. However, a tagging system needs to be simple in order to be successful, otherwise it will not be accepted by users. In our ELWMS.KOM system for the support of self-regulated Resource-Based Learning users can assign specific semantic types to the tags they use in order to manage their web-based learning resources. However studies have shown that most users would appreciate an automatic identification of tag types. In this paper we present a knowledgebased approach for the automatic identification of the tag types used in the ELWMS.KOM system. Evaluations conducted on different corpora show that the algorithm works with an overall accuracy of up to 84%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
