Description:	The Social Bookmarking System (SBS) has become the most popular approach for knowledge sharing over internet especially with the launch of Web 2.0. It has shifted from traditional to conversational approaches where SBS provides users with necessary tools to manage information that can later be used or shared and where the information is evaluated either by expert or other users to obtain quality information. For example, in academic world, SBS really helps a scientific community of experts and professionals to manage and share resources among researchers. This approach give benefits, especially for new students (i.e. graduates) who are having difficulty in finding information to start their research in a particular domain. Therefore, a quality SBS is needed, especially on how to optimize the user’s collaborating and share in an effective and usable way. A basic unit of SBS is representing bookmarks of web resources and tags that are used to organize these bookmarks. The current SBS either uses taxonomy or folksonomy schema to create and organize the bookmark. Applying taxonomy is expensive, time-consuming, and does not reflect the user’s vocabulary, while applying folksonomy has limited regard to retrieval capability from the lack of vocabulary control. The previous studies had shown that applying a hybrid taxonomy-folksonomy approach for social bookmarking system has become prominent. However, applying this approach still has limitation regarding representing and organizing web resources during bookmarking, as well as bookmarking interface design to build common language between users. On the other hand, Pattern Language (PL) has offered a method to prove a quality solution in a context. PL has been used in many areas such as interaction design in ethnographic studies, in ubiquitous computing, and user interface interaction designs. Therefore, this research aims to propose a social bookmarking model based on design pattern language using a hybrid taxonomy-folksonomy approach that supports better representation and organization of bookmarks in SBS. In this research, the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) has been adopted. DSRM mainly consists of identifying the problem, defining the objectives of a solution, designing and developing the artefact, demonstration, evaluation, and communication phases. The proposed social bookmarking (ISBookmark) model is validated by expert review. A social graduate bookmarking prototype (GISBookmark) is developed to prove the proposed model is workable. After defining the GISBookmark model, a panel of Web 2.0 experts were consulted to validate the model. The qualities of the social bookmarking are evaluated in two stages. In the first, qualitative study was used to test the usability and effectiveness of the proposed system, while the second used quantitative study to confirm the effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction. The evaluation results showed that the proposed social bookmarking model help graduates to represent, organize, and share the quality of information among them in an effective and usable way.,Ph.D.
