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...
Hi there, FYI, our January 7th call on taxonomy issues will discuss issues and limitations of applying taxonomies in MOSS. Full session description at:...

Hi, Are there any MultiTes users on the list? We are using MultiTes and trying to implement the web-based output. We have multiple products (several...
Hi Matt, My favorite relevant title from a previous job was, "Knowlege Integrator." Regrettably I delayed requisitioning the cape and spandex suit the name ...
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...
My name is Lisa Zilinski and I am a new Taxonomy Specialist with PwC. I just started in this position, so I am not sure of any specific challenges. I look...
Welcome Lisa! We look forward to your participation. Best regards, Ron Daniel From: TaxoCoP@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TaxoCoP@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...

After the flights of fancy over new names for taxonomists fuelled by tears and gnashing of teeth over premature claims of taxonomy death, let us apply our...
Thanks, Jan! I will contact him. Mike ... Sound Division. He was responsible for the Moving Image Genre-Form Guide (MIGFG) used by The Library of Congress...
... Jon: Probably not what you are looking for, but guaranteed to give an upturn to the lips..... is a line from the deadpan comedian, Steven Wright. "What's...
We could build on this idea: Taxonomies empower your enterprise by integrating disparate information sources. Taxonomies establish a consistent data model,...
Lee, I haven't read the report, but I worked with Leslie for 4 years on a Taxonomy/Enterprise Search team for a global company. Her work and trends research...
I was always rather fond of: Â "Folksonomy, Taxonomy, Ontology, oh my!" or "Taxonomy, Thesauri, Ontology, oh my!"Â -Julie Martin ... From: jstudiman...
Something should also be said about "turning data into knowledge" or some such. The fact is, we apply structure and relationships to a bunch of data, and this...
This may be something that was discussed before but I couldn't track down anything in the discussion archives, so I apologize in advance if this is rehashing...
Sorry, less, I admit it, than inspiring ... sigh... :-( How can we rally the community around urgent, pressing, world changing taxonomy issues with such a...
That's funny. I've never really thought about how I sound to others when I say it, but I've always referred to it as "Taxo Co-op" (for cooperative). It wasn't...
