Résumé : Social bookmarking systems allow Web users to store and organize their bookmarks of online content by assigning them metadata in the form of tags (natural language terms). The process of adding and sharing tags is called collaborative tagging and leads to the construction of folksonomies. Recently, collaborative tagging has been described as an alternative method for creating classification systems.In this paper, we conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of online resources and their associated tags assigned by Web users compared with descriptors provided by librarians for the same content. Our study is based on a data set of 113 online health resources listed in both the social bookmarking system Delicious (formerly Del.icio.us) and the expert gateway CISMeF. The aim of our study is to measure the overlap between healthcare resources listed in CISMeF and Delicious, and especially between the metadata that both have assigned to those resources. In other words, the study tries to determine the extent to which tools such as CISMeF and Delicious are redundant.
