  abstract = {The World Wide Web (WWW) has grown into a rich repository of information. The vast amount of data on the web however would require the users to be skilled in querying generic information retrieval (GIR) systems to meet their information need. This is further complicated by various noises on the web such as spam and advertisement. Personalized information retrieval (PIR) systems have the potential to meet users’ information need effectively and efficiently. This paper focuses on the user profiling (UP) aspect of PIR systems as it would directly determine the system’s ability to address the users’ information need. With the high adoption of web 2.0 systems among the users of the web, web 2.0 systems proved to be an important source of user information for improvement in user profiling. One of such systems is collaborative tagging systems otherwise known as folksonomy. This paper explores the information potential of folksonomy systems in improving user profilers. A case study of the Delicious social bookmarking system was conducted to explore temporal elements of folksonomy which is neglected in previous approaches to improve the performance of user profilers. We conclude that folksonomy systems have the information potential to enhance the performance of user profilers.},
