Assignment 3 - Collaboratively creating a folksonomy
To begin collaboratively creating a shared library of material, we decided to use an online excel spreadsheet to make a list of our collective material, before finalizing the final library in the program Calibre. We sat down together and everybody contributed to the discussion of how tagging the files and the further categorization could be done appropriately.

Possible traces of our own situatedness:
- The choice of material to include in our collection
- The variables chosen to include in our Calibre library
- The choice of tags to work with
- The folksonomy, which was in a sense a situation where each of our own situatedness deliberately and undeliberately came together as one.
- The structure and categories chosen for our Taxonomy
