The document discusses mining for indicators of "semantic maturity" in tags assigned in social bookmarking systems. It explores using tag frequency, centrality within co-occurrence networks, and pattern mining to discover combinations of properties that correlate with two measures of semantic maturity: identification of tag synonyms and relationships within WordNet taxonomies. Analysis of a dataset from Delicious identified patterns where combined properties like degree centrality and user frequency achieved higher maturity rates than individual properties. This work demonstrates the potential of mining approaches to assess semantic development of tags in folksonomies over time.
