Abstract

Ovaj rad prikazuje folksonomiju mrežne stranice Archive of our own (AO3) s namjerom da se iskažu njezine osobitosti i razmotri mogućnost implementacije na drugim mrežnim stranicama s korisničkim označivanjem. Prikazane su sve kategorije oznaka u sustavu, kao i njegove prednosti i mane na konkretnim primjerima iz sustava. Specifičnosti sustava AO3 je njegova hijerarhijska raščlanjenost i ontološka organizacija proziašla iz povezivanja sinonimnih oznaka bez mjenjanja njihovog oblika radom amaterskih indeksera - goniča oznaka (engl. tag wranglers) – što dopušta označivanje prirodnim jezikom bez negativnog utjecaja na pretraživost sustava. Unutar sustava postoje problemi s relevantnošću i određivanjem specifičnosti oznaka. Same oznake i kategorije u koje su podijeljene prilagođene su potrebema korisnika – obožavateljima koji stvaraju transformativne radove – pa bi implementacija principa na kojima se sustav AO3 temelji u druge sustave korisničkih oznaka zahtjevala neke preinake.

Abstract (english)

This paper presents the folksonomy of the Archive of our own (AO3) website with the intention of showcasing its features and considering the possibility of its implementation in other websites that allow social tagging. All tag categories along with the system’s pros and cons are showcased on examples from AO3. The specificity of the system lies in its hierarchical and ontological organization that is a product of the work of amateur indexers – tag wranglers – which allows for tagging using nautral language without it negatively impacting the search functionality. Within the system there are some problems with relevance and choosing how specific a tag should be. The tags themselves, along with categories they are sorted to, are tailored to meet the needs of the users – fans creating transformative works – so any implementation of the prinicples that AO3 is based on into other social tagging systems would require some changes.
