Abstract
The synonym issue is an inherent barrier in human-computer communication, and it is more challenging in a Web 2.0 application, especially in social tagging applications. In an effort to resolve the issue, the goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a Web 2.0 application as a potential source for synonyms. This study investigates a way of identifying similar tags from a popular collaborative tagging application, Delicious. Specifically, we propose an algorithm (FolkSim) for measuring the similarity of social tags from Delicious. We compared FolkSim to a cosine-based similarity method and observed that the top-ranked tags on the similar list generated by FolkSim tend to be among the best possible similar tags in given choices. Also, the lists appear to be relatively better than the ones created by CosSim. We also observed that tag folksonomy and similar list resemble each other to a certain degree so that it possibly serves as an alternative outcome, especially in case the FolkSim-based list is unavailable or infeasible.

Abstract
The Computer Interchange of Museum Information (CIMI), operating from 1990-2003, was charged with creating and introducing the international museum community to the concept of adopting metadata industry standards. The CIMI consortium exceeded its original mission by; creating a standards framework, profile, testbeds, important metadata publications, free downloadable metadata software and protocols, and providing instrumental guidance and support in development of new projects. However, CIMI’s emphasis on the importance and utility of a standards-based approach and the necessity for implementing the CIMI Standards Framework is probably its most important achievement. During CIMI’s tenure, museums reaped the benefits by learning how to apply the model and standards to meet their individual needs while not having to invent new ones or bear the cost of software development. Although CIMI operations ceased in 2003, its impacts on museum related metadata application and research were unprecedented in that it provided the standards prototype and foundations on which to build. This paper discusses what CIMI bequeathed to the next generation of museum metadata field developers and describes the anticipated realm of future projects and advancement.
