In suchsystems users are setting up lightweight conceptual structurescalled folksonomies. The reason for their immediate success is thefact that no specific skills are needed for participating. At themoment, however, the information retrieval support is limited. Wepresent a formal model and a new search algorithm for folksonomies,called FolkRank, that exploits the structure of thefolksonomy. The proposed algorithm is also applied to findcommunities within the folksonomy and is used to structure searchresults. All findings are demonstrated on a large scale dataset.
