Folksonomy

Folksonomy refers to a system of classification created by users who assign descriptive tags to online content, such as images, articles, or videos. Unlike traditional taxonomy, which uses predefined categories set by experts, folksonomy relies on the collective labeling habits of everyday users. This crowdsourced approach makes it easier to organize and find content based on popular or relevant keywords that reflect how people naturally think about and describe things. It enhances searchability and community engagement, especially on social platforms and content-sharing sites.
