'Overall, this is a well-researched, collaborative and useful book. It provides an in-depth look into the practical benefits of social tagging and recommendation systems... I definitely recommend this book for people who are interested in user-generated metadata and how it can be used along with legacy and standards-based metadata approaches.'
