Abstract | Tag clouds are popular features on web pages, not only to support browsing but also to provide an overview over the content of the page or to summarize search retrieval results. Commonly, the arrangement of tags is based on a random layout or an alphabetic ordering of the tags. Previous research suggests to further structure the tag clouds according to semantics, typically employing cooccurrence-based relations to assess the semantic relatedness of two tags. Regarding the layout of the resulting structure, a wide variety of representations has been proposed. However, only few papers motivate their design choice or evaluate its performance from the perspective of a user, leaving it open if the approach answers the users' expectations. In this paper we present the results of a study in which we observed how humans structure user-generated tags of a social bookmarking system given the task that the resulting layout should provide a quick overview over a search retrieval result. We examine the participants' layouts based on the final arrangement of tags and a detailed interview conducted after the task. Thereby, we analyze and characterize the different term relations employed as well as the higher-level structures generated. The deeper understanding of what criteria are considered important by humans can inform the design of automatic algorithms as well as future studies evaluating their performance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
