Dynamics of human categorization in a collaborative tagging system: How social processes of semantic stabilization shape individual sensemaking

作者:

Highlights:

• We study how categories people develop in collaborative tagging change over time.

• Their internal cognitive categories and the tags they use are coordinated.

• Especially groups converging in the use of terms develop differentiated categories.

• Social processes around shared artefacts have a mediating effect on learning.
