Following up on the discussion of folksonomies and synonyms ...
I couldn't find any folksonomy support, including the Drupal plug-in, that claimed to handle synonyms. The idea that I mentioned in the editorial board teleconference was:
In a folksonomy, users can apply terms to identify topics. Sometimes terms are synonyms for one another. A simple synonym mechanism would permit a search that involves one term to also match all synonyms of that term.
To support this, a folksonomy mechanism would have to allow a term to be specified as a synonym of another term. If that is not possible, I'm not sure a folksonomy would help enough with navigation in a wiki.
Instead, it might be better to have a dedicated page with:
- accepted terms, and for each term
- their meaning, and
- any terms that have been suggested but are known to already be covered by an accepted term, and are therefore deprecated as far as their use within the wiki is concerned.
Best wishes,
Bruce Esrig

XML.org DITA Editorial Board,
Just to keep you all in the loop, attached is a preliminary wiki evaluation report prepared by Greg Rundlett, web developer at
OASIS. We've narrowed down our focus to the first three wikis listed, and the staff will proceed to examine code and compare
features for those. At this point, we're favoring Drupal. Our goal is to have an initial implementation ready for review by next
Thursday, 3 Nov.
If anyone on the Editorial Board would like to participate in the wiki evaluation or provide suggestions, your input would be most
welcome. Please contact me directly.
Carol
