Abstract

We propose a novel style of social tagging to construct knowledge collaboratively called Social Property Tagging and introduce the prototype system Social Infobox. Structured data is useful for computer system, however defining structure of knowledge for representing data semantics is usually a costly and time consuming task. In general, data structures are constructed by experts of knowledge engineering. Our method aims to construct not only structured data but also structure of data collaboratively by simple user input.
