Speaking as someone who's worked with online taxonomies since 1991, and been trained in systematics since the eighties, I'd like to point out that there cannot be a debate between taxonomy and folksonomy. One is a specific version of the other.
The debate is between pre-determined taxonomies and community-determined taxonomies, which are called folksonomies. And both can be used to enhance each other powerfully. bests, Alex O'Neal -- The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.
