Designing and Building Taxonomies for the Real World


2019 IA Conference
Full Day Workshop
March 20, 2019
January 21, 2021 9:00am

Description

A good taxonomy is one that meets the needs of its users. A great taxonomy is one that includes the needs of its users and business goals as a single strategy. Anticipating the immediate and long-term business goals of your organization along with the needs of end users is essential for product success and sustainability. This is true for e-commerce, government organizations, enterprise portals and other complex information environments.

This workshop is based on hard-won lessons working with many different taxonomies, ontologies, and organizations from small ecommerce sites to large fortune 50 enterprises. We will immerse you in the tactics of designing, building and maintaining taxonomies in practice.
