Metadatos sociales : iniciativas, tecnologías, aplicaciones y softwares

Abstract

Digital change has enabled the expansion of information and enhanced traditional coexistence and communication. The participation of society and individuals is and will be increasing, due to the fact that there will be new ways of living together digitally. Hence, nowadays we are talking about enriched metadata, or also referenced metadata, as socially constructed metadata. Social metadata is the invisible auxiliary that serves to connect users to interact with digital information. In short, at this point in time, both professionals, who create the metadata, and users, who use and enrich it, are increasingly familiar with the different social tagging systems, which makes it easier to collaborate and track actions. Hence, the composition of this book responds to the need to know the tools that allow the reader to introduce or deepen the study of social metadata and to form a criterion in relation to socially enriched metadata. The authors mention that machine learning is a multidisciplinary field of study where all disciplines, including library science, work together to get the best view of the data and thus better decision making
