本文關注Web 2.0中的核心概念Tag (俗民標籤）所影射的分類 意涵。Foucault在其《事物的秩序》一書中提出，不同的分類方式， 將造就不同的秩序空間，它反映的不只是秩序本身，更涉及知識與權 力的相對關係。本文先説明現代分類學在何種歷史情境下養成，其分 類有何特質；接著説明Tag的運作方式，透過此項科技，資訊如何呈 現、串連；最終探討俗民分類下的經驗主義與去階層效應，並論述網 路時代人與科技互為主體之關係。

This article explores the emerging folksonomic order revealed by Tag, a key application of Web 2.0. Foucault pointed out in his book The Order of Things that different ways of classification will create different senses of order, which involves not only the order of things, but also the formulation of power/knowledge relation. This paper first explores the historical contexts where the modem taxonomy was developed and its characteristics. The operational procedures of tagging are then described to demonstrate how information is presented and interconnected in such a technology. Finally, the paper explicates the effect of empiricism and de-hierarchy in the age of folksonomy and the intersubjective relationship between human beings and technologies.
