Scope note
The decentralized practice and method by which individuals and groups create, manage, and share terms, names, etc. (called "tags") to annotate and categorize digital resources in an online "social" environment. This method is not necessarily collaborative because the effort is typically not organized, individuals are not actually working together or in concert, and standardization and common vocabulary are not employed.
