Previous research in classification suggests that there is a distinct difference between user created or naive classification systems and those created by professional indexers.

...however, the world of folksomonies includes relationships that would never appear in a traditional classification including time and task related tags, affective tags and the user name of the tagger. (Kipp 2007) These short term and highly specific tags suggest important differences between user classification systems and author or intermediary classification systems which must be considered.

Controlled vocabulary indexing has proven costly and has not proven to be truly scalable on the web. Can the user created categories and classification schemes of tagging be used to enhance retrieval in these new environments? Much speculation has been advanced on the subject but so far few studies have been done.
