Building and Deploying a Corporate Taxonomy , 9 February 2006, at Aslib in London =================================================== 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 - A taxonomy of controlled vocabularies - Ontologies, Taxonomies & Thesauri: What's the difference - Standard & Methodologies - Understanding how the business works - Developing a Corporate Ontology - Building a Corporate Taxonomy - Tools & Techniques - Deploying a Corporate Taxonomy - Technologies for Taxonomy Who should attend: Information Architecture is at last uniting the traditionally isolated roles which need to collaborate to manage knowledge and information successfully. This workshop is therefore relevant to: - librarians - information scientists - documentalists - records managers - information managers - knowledge managers - user-facing IT specialists What do you get out of it? On completing the workshop you will: - understand the key role of a Corporate Taxonomy in Information Architecture - appreciate the complementary roles of ontologies, taxonomies and thesauri - know what standards exist, what they cover and how they relate - be familiar with the major tools & techniques for building a Corporate Taxonomy - have experience of some typical tools and technologies for deploying a Corporate Taxonomy Workshop Leader: Bob Bater Fees: 260 GBP plus VAT (305.50 GBP) Aslib corporate members/ 325 GBP plus VAT (381.88 GBP) Non members To book your place, please visit: www.aslib.com/training/4/06.html Kind regards Nicole Adamides, ASLIB Training The Holywell Centre, 1 Phipp Street, London, EC2A 4PS Tel: 020 7613 3031 Fax: 020 7613 5080 www.aslib.com/training Email: [log in to unmask] _________________________________________________________________ Are you using the latest version of MSN Messenger?
