BUILDING AND DEPLOYING A CORPORATE TAXONOMY
6 June 2006 at Aslib, London
A Corporate Taxonomy is the backbone of an organisation'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
