Apparently SpeedTrack owns a patent on faceted navigation technology and is suing Endeca, Mercado & all their customers for infringement. ...
Now that is interesting... Wonder how much the Wal-Mart angle played into the decision to sue. Thanks for sharing! Christine ________________________________ ...
Also - meant to ask, given the date of this thing - has anyone heard of the outcome or current status? Christine ________________________________ From: Nick...
What I find interesting is what SpeedTrack considers it's IP. Looking at their corp site <http://www.speedtrack.com/intellectual_property.html> , they...
Reminds me of a product demo I sat in recently, where they had trademarked the word "Findability"... I wonder if they are going to sue all the information...
Oh dear: http://www.speedtrack.com/intellectual_property.html Looks like Endeca and its clients are in trouble. And you may be right, Stephanie: we may be...
These people are unreal. Just to call out Kate's observation from their page... SpeedTrack believes that automobile manufacturers, personal GPS navigation...

On this December 31st, I'd like to wish all the members of the CoP a happy new year on behalf of Seth Earley and all of Earley & Associates. We have great fun...
I see a long list of esteemed analysts responsible for this banal and shallow treatment of the concept of taxonomy. Quality taxonomies are not now and have...
Wishing all who would define and divine in our new year, a measure blessing with a pinch of perspective :) The structures we would fit to the solution to end...
Nick--really appreciate your response. In particular, thanks for the comment about "educate until we're blue in the face." I think this has something to do...
Nick, Given that the term "ontology" has been almost completely absorbed by computer scientists, I think we need to be cautious about taking on a label - esp....
... As other things evolve, perhaps also the meaning of 'taxonomy' should also? Or, do you mean that people just don't understand the ways that taxonomies have...
Jay, Even if we had tools showing concept boxes interlinked in 3D, it's still only one dimension more than 2D: not much of a progress, IMHO. Unfortunately for...

Very funny. I know many of our consultants think of themselves in super hero terms (as I think of them of course). They don't use capes, but they do have hats...
I have been a: Data Manager (detested) Sr. Data Manager (even more detested, but at least senior) Senior Librarian for Ontology Development (wordy and no one...
If we're talking about making up a new term in the American English language market, I wouldn't mind being a "Knowledge-ist" though I now think the word looks...
So it's fun thinking up new names for ourselves. But back to whether or not we have any future as "taxonomists" I find it a bit worrying that we supposed...
Patrick, I agree with you 100%, but I can't dismiss the fact, either, that, though we all know politics can kill a taxonomy project, many of them can't succeed...
Keith Thanks for this reply. I don't think there is such a thing as "success" in most taxonomy work there is only the possibility of improvement, much of it...
