    I've finally found a what I consider to be a good social bookmarking site with semantic tagging.

    BibSonomy helps you to organize your scientific work. Use BibSonomy to collect publications and bookmarks, to collaborate with your colleagues, and to discover interesting researches for your daily work.

    BibSonomy is a free service that provides for managing and (optionally) sharing an online collection of web bookmarks or bibliographic entries for conventional publications (e.g., books, journal articles, etc.) annotated with title, description and semantic tags, which can be searched. Entries can be created online via the website user interface or a browser extension, with tools to use ISBN, ISSN, DOI, or barcodes to have the insert publication form filled up automatically for you. Citations can be exported in various citation formats (e.g. BibTex, XML, APA, etc.).

    BibSonomy is offered by the KDE group of the University of Kassel, the DMIR group of the University of Würzburg, and the L3S Research Center, Germany.

    I've looked for a decent alternative to Del.icio.us since it went AWOL years ago (with ongoing pledges on a broken site to return any day now!), eventually resorting to curating my own bookmarks maintained on a static site at gitlab. However, while it's organized hierarchically by concept with a topic search capability, it's desparately missing semantic tags, and has become unwieldly. Having tried several alternatives, both offline and online, including Evernote (which massively failed my expectations for web bookmarking, especially the lack of a semantic tag network) and various bibliography tools for librarians (e.g., Scrible ), I was delighted to recently discover BibSonomy. :-)
