Catalysts for Thought-4-Emergent Folksonomy Maps

David Turnbull talks about Emergent Maps in his paper titled "Genetic Mapping: Approaches to the Spatial Topography of Genetics"

However these kinds of adaptive systems still rely on a central algorithm which, as an idea, is not compatible with the project of community based taxonomies or folksonomies. On the other hand folksonomies and emergent maps are not mutually exclusive either. One can design a mapping tool that would be based on a continuously evolving folksonomy, which might be called an emergent/dynamic folksonomy map.
