“…Hashtags on Twitter connect users with other tweets about the same topic and help them organize personal tweets (e.g., the instructor declaring #ClassOfFall2020 as a new hashtag for all the class communication) (Shapp, 2014). Thus, information overload over social media can be mitigated by creating hashtags that help users organize information (Papadakis et al, 2017).…”

Since the inception of gatekeeping research in the 1940s, most studies on gatekeeping have been human‐centric, treating and studying individuals as gatekeepers, who perform their gatekeeping role using a combination of the following mechanisms: forming communities, and/or broadcasting, discovering‐searching, collecting, organizing, or protecting information. However, the nature of communication channels and how information is produced by and shared with users has fundamentally changed in the last 80 years. One significant change is the growing use of technology‐enabled metadata like hashtags when sharing information on social media. Rarely any study investigates whether hashtags can perform gatekeeping of information and what it means for information gatekeeping. This paper fills in the gap by conducting a content analysis of 77 interdisciplinary studies on hashtags and gatekeeping to confirm how they can implement six gatekeeping mechanisms. This study shows that hashtags expand our understanding of the role of technology solutions in gatekeeping and advance research on hierarchical gatekeeping. The benefits of hashtags for gatekeeping suggest that they act as “information anchors” for online communities, thereby highlighting the utility of information gatekeepers for society.

“…Twitter) that were integrated with Semantic Web technologies [182]. Within the same framework, they proposed a methodology, where popular hashtags were expanded through Semantic Web technologies and were ultimately matched against the subject index of a digital library [183]. Miao et al presented an approach for integrating, enriching and republishing library data as linked data.…”

“…Furthermore, the quality of catalogued knowledge is improved. A few research papers in the literature review such as the ones described in the previous study [182,183] show that it is possible to link library data with several Web 2.0 services such as Twitter. In addition, the linked data phenomenon seems to allow modelling of things of interest related to bibliographic resources, such as places, people, themes and events [98], following the function of taxonomies and ontologies.…”

The Semantic Web in general and the Linked Open Data Initiative, in particular, are a growing movement for organisations to make their existing data available in a machine-readable format. Thus, institutions are highly encouraged to publish, share and interlink their data publicly. The more data are opened on the Web (Open Data), the more integrated sets of data will be connected in the Semantic Web (Linked Open Data). Within this context, libraries can complement their data by linking it to other, external data sources. The purpose of this article is to identify papers that refer to linked data in libraries, emphasising the ways that linked data empower libraries to put their knowledge in the context of the open-world, thus enhancing semantic technology innovations. The study considered papers published between 2008 and 2019 in English and presents the collected literature by grouping it according to the topic each paper refers to. The results show that libraries are facing a period of continuing change which present several challenges and indicate that they are moving towards developing new practices, policies and services.
