Nice article, I hadn’t heard of “folksonomy” yet :-)

Has anyone noticed that, since web 2.0, the word “semantic” is being used in a quite strange way? In web talk, something can apparently be “more semantic” than something else.

In this new web-sense, the word seems to signify that something (e.g. a piece of code) is “meaningful” or “being used with the right semantic function”.

Very useful for clearing up commonly misused terms, and also taught me new terms I hadn’t heard of. Thanks!
