We describe online collaborative communities by tripartite networks, the nodes being persons, items and tags. We introduce projection methods in order to uncover the structures of the networks, i.e. communities of users, genre families... The structuring of the network is visualised by using a tree representation. The notion of diversity in the system is also discussed.

Tagging YouTube - A classification of tagging practice on YouTube
TLDR
Analysis reveals how useful the tagging method on YouTube is at improving the categorisation of user generated video content in contrast to collaborative tagging systems.
Fundamental statistical features and self-similar properties of tagged networks
We investigate the fundamental statistical features of tagged (or annotated) networks having a rich variety of attributes associated with their nodes. Tags (attributes, annotations, properties,…
Graph-based Cluster Analysis to Identify Similar Questions: A Design Science Approach
TLDR
This work developed an approach to cluster similar questions based on a web of social relationships among the questions, the answers, the askers, and the answerers using design science research guidelines and found that the proposed graph-based cluster analysis is more promising than baseline methods.
Ontologies and tag-statistics
TLDR
The most interesting finding is that the local relevance of tags in the DAG is much more important than their global distance from the root, and a simple tagging model is introduced, capable of reproducing the main statistical features of tag co-occurrence.
The Atlas for the Aspiring Network Scientist
TLDR
After reading this book, you will have a general understanding about the existence and the mechanics of all these approaches, and can use such an understanding as the starting point of your own career in the field of network science.
Analysing mesoscale structures in economic and financial networks
TLDR
This thesis introduces a new method to detect statistically significant bimodular structures, based on the connectivity within and between network modules, and applies these methods to characterise the structure of real-world economic and financial networks.
OA user behavior analysis with the heterogeneous information network model
TLDR
A heterogeneous information network model is constructed based on the interactive messages among users in the Office Application (OA) system, which integrates both user interaction and semantic information, and a community division method is proposed for group user behavior analysis.
Unbalanced Multistage Heat Conduction and Mass Diffusion Algorithm in an Educational Digital Library
TLDR
A weighted network-based information filtering framework that models user usage as a bipartite user-resource network; users and resources are treated as nodes in this network, each edge from a user to a resource means usage, and the weight represents the accumulation of multiple usage scenarios.
Folksonomication: Predicting Tags for Movies from Plot Synopses using Emotion Flow Encoded Neural Network
TLDR
This work proposes a novel neural network model that merges information from synopses and emotion flows throughout the plots to predict a set of tags for movies, and finds that the addition of emotion flows boosts the performance of the network by learning ≈18% more tags than a traditional machine learning system.
MPST: A Corpus of Movie Plot Synopses with Tags
TLDR
A methodology is described that enabled a fine-grained set of around 70 tags exposing heterogeneous characteristics of movie plots and the multi-label associations of these tags with some 14K movie plot synopses to explore the feasibility of inferring tags from plotsynopses.

TLDR
Analysis of web-downloaded data on people sharing their music library shows evidence of collective listening habits that do not fit the neat usual genres defined by the music industry indicates an alternative way of classifying listeners and music groups.
