1 like244 views
This document evaluates tools for classifying content on weblogs. It aims to assess how well weblogs implement technical solutions for using classification tools and provides an analysis framework for evaluating any open or proprietary content management system. The analysis defines required functionalities based on classification schemes, selects weblogs to evaluate, tests available functionalities empirically, and synthesizes the results. It presents matrices comparing various classification schemes and how well different weblog software implements them. The conclusions find that users prefer simple tools, social networking features, and focus on publishing over classifying, so blog software simplifies classification work.
Weblogs content clasificaftion tools: performance evaluation
- 1. Weblogs Content Classification Tools: performance evaluation Jesús Tramullas Piedad Garrido University of Zaragoza
- 2. Aims To asses the way in which weblogs implement the technical solutions necessary to utilize correctly clasification tools To provide a general analysis framework to apply to any kind of open (or propietary) content management system
- 3. The tools: weblogs or blogs ...are tools containing the required (and desired) features for create, edit, evaluate, publish and archive digital content, within the framework of a standardised flow of work, and to manage the life cycle of this digital information “Write, categorise, publish and access”
- 4. The users Blogs are used by final users Final users don't have knowledge about classification schemes (generallly)... ...so this is the reason of the folksonomies success Remember S. Krugg: “Don't make me think”
- 5. Analysis framework Defining the requiered functionalities The definition of functionalities derives from the classification schemes that are under evaluation Selecting the weblog management to be evaluated Empirical testing of the available functionalities Synthesising and validating the results
- 6. Analysis matrix Classification Schemes: Keywords Hierarchical / Taxonomy Faceted Classific. Thesaurus Ontology Software: WordPress Serendipity TextPattern LifeType b2evolution NucleusCMS
- 8. Conclusions Users prefer simplicity Users prefer functionalities for social networks Users are oriented to publish, not to classify, like blog software Consecuently, blog software is simplifying classification work Blog software doesn't include web 2.0 tech, but, Does it need now?
