摘      要：The comprehension of folksonomies is of high importance when making sense of Volunteered Geographic Information(VGI),in particular in the case of OpenStreetMap(OSM).So far,only little research has been conducted to understand the role and the evolution of folksonomies in VGI and OSM,which is despite the fact that without a comprehension of the folksonomies the thematic dimension of data can hardly be *** article examines the history of the OSM folksonomy,with the aim to predict its future *** particular,we explore how the documentation of the OSM folksonomy relates to its actual use in the data,and we investigate the historical and future scope and granularity of the ***,a visualization technique is proposed to examine the folksonomy in more detail.
