Description:
This month's call reviews research by Taxonomy Strategies and Earley & Associates, Inc that explores current and planned taxonomy practices at various types of organizations.
Effective taxonomy development requires a certain commitment on the part of the organization. How ambitious should you be when you are attempting to embark on an initiative? Should there be a formal governance process? How should terms be managed and applied? If you are new to the process, what is realistic? We will talk about where we see organizations taking on more sophisticated practices than they are likely to be able to sustain.
In this session, Ron Daniel of Taxonomy Strategies and Seth Earley share research and analysis of practices in a sampling of organizations.
- What are the most common search practices with regard to taxonomies?
- What percentage of companies have not applied Dublin Core metadata organization wide?
- What types of organizations have developed cataloging policies to apply metadata?
- How many organizations have centralized metadata repositories?
- What are the most common types of taxonomies in use?
- Are companies developing roadmaps for taxonomy evolution?
- How many companies are validating taxonomies on sample content?
- What kinds of firms are applying faceted taxonomies?
