“…42 Lyons and Tappeiner wrote that they were incorporating user-developed tags into a local thesaurus for video games and web resources at Hostos Community College Library. 43 Staff at Westchester County Public Library System created subject headings and general material designations to enhance catalog records for their collection of audiovisual materials. 44 Lee et al developed a video game metadata schema for the Seattle Interactive Media Museum and included the elements of "genre/gameplay, style, plot/narrative, theme, setting, and mood/affect."…”

Collections of three-dimensional materials may not be discoverable to library users if they lack adequate metadata. Discovery of these collections may be enhanced through the application of relevant cataloging standards and controlled vocabularies. This paper outlines how librarians at the University of North Texas Libraries used these strategies to increase access to a large collection of tabletop games.

“…Folksonomies have become an important user‐driven approach to information indexing and retrieval (Dye, 2006; Furnas et al 2006; Golder and Huberman, 2006; Gordon‐Murnane, 2006; Guy and Tonkin, 2006; Kroski, 2008; Mathes, 2004; Noruzi, 2006; Peterson, 2006; Smith, 2008; Spiteri, 2006, 2007). They find application in:collaborative web services such as Del.icio.us, Flickr, Last.fm and YouTube (Peters and Stock, 2007, 2008);library catalogs, e.g., PennTags (Sweda, 2006; Allen and Winkler, 2007), or “cataloguing 2.0” (Lyons and Tappeiner, 2008; Fifarek, 2008; Coyle, 2007; Weaver, 2007);corporate intranets (Fichter, 2006);museum catalogs (Trant, 2006); andcommercial online information suppliers, e.g., Elsevier's Engineering Village and GENIOS' WISO (Stock, 2007b). The strength of this approach is collaborative indexing; its weakness lies in information retrieval, as in most cases no relevance ranking exists (for a remarkable exception see Hotho et al (2006), and their system “BibSonomy”).…”

“Power tags” in information retrieval

Purpose-Many Web 2.0 services (including Library 2.0 catalogs) make use of folksonomies. The purpose of this paper is to cut off all tags in the long tail of a document-specific tag distribution. The remaining tags at the beginning of a tag distribution are considered power tags and form a new, additional search option in information retrieval systems. Design/methodology/approach-In a theoretical approach the paper discusses document-specific tag distributions (power law and inverse-logistic shape), the development of such distributions (Yule-Simon process and shuffling theory) and introduces search tags (besides the well-known index tags) as a possibility for generating tag distributions. Findings-Search tags are compatible with broad and narrow folksonomies and with all knowledge organization systems (e.g. classification systems and thesauri), while index tags are only applicable in broad folksonomies. Based on these findings, the paper presents a sketch of an algorithm for mining and processing power tags in information retrieval systems. Research limitations/implications-This conceptual approach is in need of empirical evaluation in a concrete retrieval system. Practical implications-Power tags are a new search option for retrieval systems to limit the amount of hits. Originality/value-The paper introduces power tags as a means for enhancing the precision of search results in information retrieval systems that apply folksonomies, e.g. catalogs in Library 2.0 environments.

“…31 In "Game Genres Demystified," McCann also acknowledges the lack of standardized criteria for defining game genres, stating that the unofficial list is contentious and changing. 32 Nevertheless, he identifies major categories for use in collection development and event programming.…”

“What Am I Fighting For?”: Creating a Controlled Vocabulary for Video Game Plot Metadata

A video game's plot is one of its defining features, and prior research confirms the importance of plot metadata to users through persona analysis, interviews, and surveys. However, existing organizational systems, including library catalogs, game-related websites, and traditional plot classification systems, do not adequately describe the plot information of video games, in other words, what the game is really about. We attempt to address the issue by creating a controlled vocabulary based on a domain analysis involving a review of relevant literature and existing data structures. The controlled vocabulary is constructed in a pair structure for maximizing flexibility and extensibility. Adopting this controlled vocabulary for describing plot information of games will allow for useful search and collocation of video games.
