Building and Deploying a Corporate Taxonomy
A Corporate
Taxonomy is the backbone of an organization’s information
architecture. Whether the focus is on records management,
document management or knowledge management, a Corporate
Taxonomy is key to effective storage and retrieval. A
Corporate Taxonomy is different from a subject taxonomy
in that it is a taxonomy of business activities. Corporate
Taxonomies are therefore specific to an organisation and
have to be custom-built.
This interactive
workshop uses a blend of presentation, discussion and
practical exercises to explain the purposes of a Corporate
Taxonomy and to introduce delegates to technologies, techniques
and tools for building and deploying them. Topics include:
- Why taxonomies
are useful
- The Roles
of Metadata

of controlled vocabularies
- Ontologies,
Taxonomies & Thesauri: What's the difference
- Standard
& Methodologies
