Wikipedia categories revisited

When categories where implemented there were a lot of ideas what should be. I warned - but I was wrong. Like Wikipedia categories evolved to something entirely new - what I call a collaborative Thesaurus

• Basics of LIS
  • Basics of collaborative Tagging
  • Basics of Thesaurus
• The "Problem" of "Hamburger Aalsuppe"
• How categories are used
• How categories are misued
• Practise (bad results in usability, good to stop people from playing too much with categories ;-)
• Tools (CatScan, CatIntersect, CoCat)
• What it also can/could be
  • Qualifier
  • Pre- and postcoordination
