At least not so easily as you could say when you speak about semantic web. So the question is "what are we observing" when we observe clustered tags in flickr? Anyway I'm doing some similar research observing flickr cluster about Europe and European Union. Anyway I'll discuss flickr as a research tool at the <a href="http://www.visualsociology.org/conference.html" rel="nofollow">IVSA conference</a> that will be hold in Urbino this summer. Maybe could be a good opportunity to come in Italy. the problem with tagging architecture is that you can’t easily say what is the designed structure of information.
