ABSTRACT:
Provided are techniques for updating retrievability aids. A search request including one or more search terms is received. Each of the one or more search terms is captured. A list of topics is provided to a user as search results. User selection of a topic in the list of topics is received. After reviewing the topic, the user adds one or more folksonomy tags to the topic. The one or more folksonomy tags added by the user to the topic are captured. Each of the one or more search terms and each of the one or more folksonomy tags are mapped to the topic. For each of the search terms, based on a number of times that the search term has been used to search for the topic, the search term is added to one or more retrievability aids. For each of the one or more folksonomy tags, based on a number of times that the folksonomy tag has been applied to the topic, the folksonomy tag is added to at least one of the one or more retrievability aids.
