2018 IA Summit

Cost

$650 USD

Time(s)

March 22, 2018
9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET

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. We will immerse you in the tactics of designing, building and maintaining taxonomies in practice.

This workshop will include:

  • An overview of the terms and concepts used in the planning and building of
    • taxonomies and
    • ontologies
  • Taxonomies in the wild – the roles that taxonomies play in real-world scenarios
  • Where to start and how to execute your taxonomy project
    • Requirements gathering
    • Taxonomy design
    • Taxonomy testing and metrics
  • Governance, training, and maintenance – how to create the infrastructure necessary to build long-term success for the taxonomies

Registration is closed.
