  • 최근 정보 유통의 주요 매체인 인터넷 뉴스와 SNS의 매체 간 특성 차이를 주목한 많은 연구가 있었음에도 불구하고, 양 매체의 차이를 정보의 수요 및 공급 관점에서 파악한 연구는 상대적으로 매우 부족하다. 일반적으로 새로운 정보는 언론사의 뉴스 기사를 통해 대중에게 노출되고, 대중은 이러한 기사에 대한 의견 또는 추가정보를 SNS를 통해 공유함으로써 해당 정보를 수용함과 동시에 확산시킨다. 이러한 측면에서 언론사가 뉴스를 제공하는 행위를 정보의 공급으로 파악할 수 있으며, 대중은 SNS를 통해 이에 대한 관심을 능동적으로 나타냄으로써 해당 정보에 대한 소비 수요를 표출하는 것으로 이해할 수 있다. 이는 상품 및 서비스의 가격이 수요와 공급의 관계에 의해 결정되는 것과 유사한 원리로, 정보의 가치를 정보 수요와 정보 공급의 관계에 기반을 두어 측정할 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구에서는 정보 공급의 대표 매체로 인터넷 뉴스 기사를, 정보 수요를 나타내는 대표 매체로 트위터를 선정하고, 특정 이슈에 대한 뉴스의 정보로서의 가치를 이와 관련된 트위터의 양으로 평가하는 뉴스가치지수(NVI, News Value Index)를 고안하여 제시한다. 구체적으로 제안 방법론은 각 이슈별로 NVI를 도출하고 이를 통해 시간의 흐름에 따른 정보 가치의 변화를 시각화하여 나타낸다. 또한 본 연구에서는 제안 방법론의 실무 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 인터넷 뉴스 387,018건과 트윗 31,674,795건에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 대부분의 이슈가 전체 정보 시장의 평균 가치에 수렴하는 형태로 변화함을 알 수 있었으며, 꾸준히 평균 이상의 가치를 가지며 정보 시장을 장악하는 등 특이한 양상을 보이는 흥미로운 이슈도 존재함을 파악할 수 있었다.

  • In collaborative tagging systems such as Delicious.com and Flickr.com, users assign keywords or tags to their uploaded resources, such as bookmarks and pictures, for their future use or sharing purposes. The collection of resources and tags generated by a user is called a personomy, and the collection of all personomies constitutes the folksonomy. The most significant need of the folksonomy users Is to efficiently find useful resources or experts on specific topics. An excellent ranking algorithm would assign higher ranking to more useful resources or experts. What resources are considered useful In a folksonomic system? Does a standard superior to frequency or freshness exist? The resource recommended by more users with mere expertise should be worthy of attention. This ranking paradigm can be implemented through a graph-based ranking algorithm. Two well-known representatives of such a paradigm are Page Rank by Google and HITS(Hypertext Induced Topic Selection) by Kleinberg. Both Page Rank and HITS assign a higher evaluation score to pages linked to more higher-scored pages. HITS differs from PageRank in that it utilizes two kinds of scores: authority and hub scores. The ranking objects of these pages are limited to Web pages, whereas the ranking objects of a folksonomic system are somewhat heterogeneous(i.e., users, resources, and tags). Therefore, uniform application of the voting notion of PageRank and HITS based on the links to a folksonomy would be unreasonable, In a folksonomic system, each link corresponding to a property can have an opposite direction, depending on whether the property is an active or a passive voice. The current research stems from the Idea that a graph-based ranking algorithm could be applied to the folksonomic system using the concept of mutual Interactions between entitles, rather than the voting notion of PageRank or HITS. The concept of mutual interactions, proposed for ranking the Semantic Web resources, enables the calculation of importance scores of various resources unaffected by link directions. The weights of a property representing the mutual interaction between classes are assigned depending on the relative significance of the property to the resource importance of each class. This class-oriented approach is based on the fact that, in the Semantic Web, there are many heterogeneous classes; thus, applying a different appraisal standard for each class is more reasonable. This is similar to the evaluation method of humans, where different items are assigned specific weights, which are then summed up to determine the weighted average. We can check for missing properties more easily with this approach than with other predicate-oriented approaches. A user of a tagging system usually assigns more than one tags to the same resource, and there can be more than one tags with the same subjectivity and objectivity. In the case that many users assign similar tags to the same resource, grading the users differently depending on the assignment order becomes necessary. This idea comes from the studies in psychology wherein expertise involves the ability to select the most relevant information for achieving a goal. An expert should be someone who not only has a large collection of documents annotated with a particular tag, but also tends to add documents of high quality to his/her collections. Such documents are identified by the number, as well as the expertise, of users who have the same documents in their collections. In other words, there is a relationship of mutual reinforcement between the expertise of a user and the quality of a document. In addition, there is a need to rank entities related more closely to a certain entity. Considering the property of social media that ensures the popularity of a topic is temporary, recent data should have more weight than old data. We propose a comprehensive folksonomy ranking framework in which all these considerations are dealt with and that can be easily customized to each folksonomy site for ranking purposes. To examine the validity of our ranking algorithm and show the mechanism of adjusting property, time, and expertise weights, we first use a dataset designed for analyzing the effect of each ranking factor independently. We then show the ranking results of a real folksonomy site, with the ranking factors combined. Because the ground truth of a given dataset is not known when it comes to ranking, we inject simulated data whose ranking results can be predicted into the real dataset and compare the ranking results of our algorithm with that of a previous HITS-based algorithm. Our semantic ranking algorithm based on the concept of mutual interaction seems to be preferable to the HITS-based algorithm as a flexible folksonomy ranking framework. Some concrete points of difference are as follows. First, with the time concept applied to the property weights, our algorithm shows superior performance in lowering the scores of older data and raising the scores of newer data. Second, applying the time concept to the expertise weights, as well as to the property weights, our algorithm controls the conflicting influence of expertise weights and enhances overall consistency of time-valued ranking. The expertise weights of the previous study can act as an obstacle to the time-valued ranking because the number of followers increases as time goes on. Third, many new properties and classes can be included in our framework. The previous HITS-based algorithm, based on the voting notion, loses ground in the situation where the domain consists of more than two classes, or where other important properties, such as "sent through twitter" or "registered as a friend," are added to the domain. Forth, there is a big difference in the calculation time and memory use between the two kinds of algorithms. While the matrix multiplication of two matrices, has to be executed twice for the previous HITS-based algorithm, this is unnecessary with our algorithm. In our ranking framework, various folksonomy ranking policies can be expressed with the ranking factors combined and our approach can work, even if the folksonomy site is not implemented with Semantic Web languages. Above all, the time weight proposed in this paper will be applicable to various domains, including social media, where time value is considered important.
