“…2) usually takes place without the taggers being constrained by any guidelines. The taggers are in many cases unorganized and unknown to each other, so the process of tagging is ad hoc and the resultant collection of tags typically does not have any formal structure, although it often has an implicit structure Lalwani and Huhns (2009), as described in Section 2.2. The purpose of our effort is to develop tools that can explicate any implicit structure from a collection of tags and induce from it an informal ontology.…”

This paper describes our solution to the problem of inducing ontological information from metadata provided informally. The metadata is in the form of linguistic tags attached to items in an on-line domain. We formulate four hypotheses about the structure implicit in a set of tags and evaluate them using data from public tag sets. The results confirm three of the four hypotheses and show that it is feasible for ontological information -specifically subclass relationships -to be made explicit and hence available for inferencing.
