Taxonomy & folksonomy

Ok Taxonomy... to provide a classification using some form of arrangement or structure in words, list format, diagrams, images, art, photographs... etc

Hesse-Honegger created a taxonomy using her illustrations of bugs showing their mutations over time - creating a taxonomy of prototypes of future bugs/ nature.

Damien Hirst created his art using taxonomy by creating a gallery of shelves containing medicines and bottles / packages... all arranged and placed in order of some sort.

Folksonomy... is a social classification, classifications created by 'folk' e.g. tagging (images online)

Folksonomy is derived from the practice and method of collaboratively creating and maintaining tags to annotate and categorize content. :/ the term was coined by Thomas Vander Wal.

Examples of folksonomy: bookmarks (for web pages) tagging (photos-images) personal tagging of information and images usually shared and open to others... (the tagging is created by the consumer of the information).
