"Space support in databases poses new challenges in every part of a database management system & the capability of spatial support in the physical layer is considered very important. This has led to the design of spatial access methods to enable the effective & efficient management of spatial objects. R-trees have a simplicity of structure & together with their resemblance to the B-tree, allow developers to incorporate them easily into ..."
"Social Tagging Systems are web applications in which users upload resources (e.g., bookmarks, videos, photos, etc.) and annotate it with a list of freely chosen keywords called tags. This is a grassroots approach to organize a site and help users to find the resources they are interested in.

"We set the parameter ρ of this recommender to ρ = 0.6 for the evaluation in
Section 7.2. The recommender has been implemented as a combination of three
recommenders: 1. the most popular tags by resource (see Eq. 3.2) recommender
which returns the k tags ˆT1u,r which have been attached to the resource most
often (with ˆs1(t):= |Y∩U×{t}×{r}||Y∩U×T×{r}|, i.e., the relative tag frequency), 2.
