New Vocabulary...

... courtesy of MGT 566sx

Ontology: In information or computer sciences, ontology is a formal representation of a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. Provides a shared vocabulary.

Folksonomy: A mesh of folk and taxonomy, folksonomy is a classification system derived from the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. Synonyms: collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, social tagging.

AJAX: Turns out I didn't really need to know what this was. My technical knowledge is limited at best, so I just need to know that this is shorthand for asynchronous JavaScript XTML , and is a web development technique.

Thanks to Wikipedia for the definitions.
