@@1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays Web 2.0 platforms like YouTube [6], Flickr [3] and del.icio.us [2] provide large amounts of resources such as videos, photographs and social bookmarks. Common to the platforms is the classi.cation by so called tags that can be used for organization and retrieval. A current limitation of tagging platforms is their confinement to a single media type. Furthermore, a magnitude of platforms exists for each media type. Thus, in both cases of searching resources of either the same or of difierent media type, a user has to search multiple platforms [7]. For example,a user needs to search on del.icio.us, RawSugar [4] and Bibsonomy [1] to find bookmarks or on Flickr and YouTube to find media related to e.g. An artist.
