Abstract. Many keyword-based approaches to text classification, information retrieval or even user modeling for adaptive web-based system could benefit from knowledge on relations between various keywords, which gives further possibilities to compare them, evaluate their distance etc. This paper proposes an approach how to determine keyword relations (mainly a parent-child relationship) by leveraging collective wisdom of the masses, present in data of collaborative (social) tagging systems on the Web. The feasibility of our approach is demonstrated on the data coming from the social bookmarking systems delicious and CiteULike.
