What is an Enterprise Taxonomy?
An Enterprise Taxonomy is classification of data, information, content, and expertise across an organization. When implemented, this agreed upon classification of terms, concepts, categories and keywords is a critical tool which leverages the effective use of information across an enterprise.
The benefits of a skillfully developed and implemented taxonomy and information architecture include time savings, streamlined business processes, improved enterprise integration, faster searches and navigation, improved e-business and more highly leveraged knowledge and skills.
Taxonomy development can involve 3 stages:
Taxonomy Strategy
