I came across this word today: Fauxonomy. There seems to be some disagreement about it's meaning however. The first thing that came to my mind was fauxonomy as machine generated taxonomy made out to look like user-generated taxsonomy(folksonomy), however some who support scientific taxonomies have dubbed folksonomies as fauxonomies themselves. Either way I'm sticking with my interpretation. My french was never any good though…
