Title
Cross-tagging for personalized open social networking
Abstract
The Social Web is successfully established and poised for continued growth. Web 2.0 applications such as blogs, book- marking, music, photo and video sharing systems are among the most popular; and all of them incorporate a social as- pect, i.e., users can easily share information with other users. But due to the diversity of these applications - serving dif- ferent aims - the Social Web is ironically divided. Blog users who write about music for example, could possibly benefit from other users registered in other social systems operat- ing within the same domain, such as a social radio station. Although these sites are two different and disconnected sys- tems, offering distinct services to the users, the fact that domains are compatible could benefit users from both sys- tems with interesting and multi-faceted information. In this paper we propose to automatically establish social links be- tween distinct social systems through cross-tagging, i.e., en- riching a social system with the tags of other similar social system(s). Since tags are known for increasing the predic- tion quality of recommender systems (RS), we propose to quantitatively evaluate the extent to which users can bene- fit from cross-tagging by measuring the impact of different cross-tagging approaches on tag-aware RS for personalized resource recommendations. We conduct experiments in real world data sets and empirically show the effectiveness of our approaches.
