Abstract
Peer-to-Peer news portals allow Internet users to write news articles and make them available online to interested readers. Despite the fact that authors are free in their choice of topics, there are a number of quality characteristics that an article must meet before it is published. In addition to meaningful titles, comprehensibly written texts and meaningful images, relevant tags are an important criteria for the quality of such news. In this case study, we discuss the challenges and common mistakes that Peer-to-Peer reporters face when tagging news and how incorrect information can be corrected through the orchestration of existing Natural Language Processing services. Lastly, we use this illustrative example to give insight into the challenges of dealing with bottom-up taxonomies.

ShortNews discontinued operations in 2018.
- 2.
Based on the data available to us. It is very likely that new tags have been added this year, but our dataset does not represent this.
