Description
Presents highlights of research about "social metadata," the content generated from certain "social media" features (e.g., tagging, comments, reviews, images, videos, ratings, recommendations, lists, links to related articles, etc.) that support the contribution of user-generated content. Part 1 of the report series provided an overview of all the social metadata sites reviewed as part of the work of the RLG Social Metadata Working Group. Part 2 of the report series summarized the findings of a survey conducted in October-November 2009 of managers of websites that support the creation of "social metadata." The final report in the series, Part 3 offered recommendations for practice and an inventory of selected readings consulted during the course of work to prepare the report series.
