In this paper we propose a simple method to model folksonomies, as tagging systems, with ontologies. We show the scalability of the method using real data sets. The modeling method is composed of a generic ontology that represents any folksonomy and an algorithm to transform the information contained in folksonomies to the generic ontology. The method allows representing folksonomies at any instant of time. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {7}, year = {2008}, pages = {2341 - 2347}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11884}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/19}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 19, 2008}, }
