The amount of homogeneity of Persian subject headlines with users' social tagging

Studying the relevance of social tags to thematic headings can help enrich resources and make them more accessible to resources.

The present research is applied-theoretical type and research method . For data gathering Kitabrah website with Persian subject headings was determined.

The exact matching of subject headings with social tags averaged 22 items, the approximate matching of subject headings with social tags averaged 36 items, the relative matching of thematic headings with social tags averaged 36 social items, and the average matching titles did not match the title. The average is 116. The exact matching of subject headings with social labels is the lowest and the most inconsistent. This study showed that the average non-compliance of subject headings with social labels is even higher than the sum of the three types of exact, relative and approximate matching. The relevance of thematic titles to social labels is low.

Current research revealed that the degree of conformity of thematic headings with social labels is low. Therefore, these two methods can complement each other and create a hybrid cataloging that includes subject headings and social tags. The low level of conformity of thematic headings with social tags confirms the results of backgrounds and writings that have compared the social tags of books with the thematic headings of the Library of Congress.
