Great Summary of Folksonomies and Museums Thread

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. Benjamin Franklin

RLG is a not-for-profit organization of over 150 research libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural memory institutions.   The organization maintains a blog called "Hanging Together," the name inspired by the Ben Franklin quote above.   It's described as:

HangingTogether is a place where some of the staff at RLG, a membership organization of libraries, archives, and museums, can talk about the intersections we see happening between these three different types of institutions. We travel to our members a lot and go to conferences and wanted to be able to take note of the interesting things we see along the way. Stop in, stay awhile, and hang out.

On the Museums/Computers list, there has been a vigorous discussion about folksonomies and Günter Waibel has done an excellent job of summarizing it.
