Platform
The Semantic Web is a useful platform for linking, exchanging, and interoperating supports on tagging data collected from heterogeneous social tagging sites. The platform supports a social ecosystem that interlinks among diverse objects such as individual and individual, individual and communities, or individual and the tags themselves and leverages social connections based on tags. In addition, the platform allows users to reuse and exchange tag data between people across different sources (systems) in existing social networks, which could be used to connect people who may have a common interest, or set of interests.
The OpenTagging Platform is an open framework that is scalable and interoperable with all existing tagging data from heterogeneous sources or applications.
