Social cataloging application
- Social cataloging application
A social cataloging application is a web application designed to help users to catalog things--books, CDs, etc--owned or otherwise of interest to them. The phrase refers to two characteristics that generally arise from a multi-user cataloging environment:
*The ability to share catalogs and interact with others based upon shared items;
*The enrichment or improvement of cataloging description through either explicit cooperation in the production of cataloging metadata or through the analysis of implicit data (eg., "People who like X also like Y").
Some of the more notable social cataloging applications include:
* For books: LibraryThing, Shelfari, Goodreads, Anobii, Books iRead
* For music: Discogs, Rate Your Music, Last.fm
* For movies: Flixster
* For scholarly citations: Bibster, CiteULike, Connotea, refbase
* For computer and video games: MobyGames
