社会化标签的可视化演化研究进展

Research Progress of the Evolution of Social Tag Visualization

[目的/意义]传统文字型社会化标签的表征形式由于词汇、语言的多样性影响了标签内容和标签结构的理解,将标签进行可视化成为优化其表征的途径之一。[方法/过程]按照社会化标签的可视化发展进程,分别从可视化的文字标签、图形辅助的文字标签、图标标签、结构化图标标签4个阶段来分析各阶段标签可视化的目的、策略、方法以及应用场景。[结果/结论]通过对比分析发现,每一可视化阶段在不同的标签表征目标下,依据相应的图形化交互方法对文字型标签进行辅助表征。研究对基于标签的信息资源管理系统设计提供理论建议。[局限]由于社会化标签理论仍在丰富过程中,文章所阐述的可视化方法也会跟随其发展而被不断完善。

[ Purpose/significance ] Due to the influence of the diversity of vocabulary and language on the understanding of tag content and tag structure in traditional textual social tag, visualizing tag becomes one of the ways to optimize its characterization effi- ciency. [ Method/process ] According to the visualization process of social tag, this paper analyzes the purpose, strategies, meth- ods and application scenarios of the tag visualization at the stages of textual tag, picture-aided textual tag, icon tag, and structural- ized icon tag. [ Result/conclusion] Through the analysis, these four visualization methods emerge based on the development of so- cial tag and graphical interaction theory. They are subsidiary representation tools applying visual factors to achieve varied tagging ob- jectives. Based on the comparative analysis, the paper provides theoretical proposals for the interface design of tag-based information resources management system. [ Limitations ] The visualization methods mentioned in this paper should be continuously improved a- long with the enrichment of social tag theory.
