Keith, Very good points. In the IA world, we would call what you are describing as "Context". What is the context of use? What are the goals and drivers? What...
Thanks, Donna. I think you've hit on reasons, too, why the economy is failing as it is--"goals and drivers" are continually discovered to be very much out of...
Hi Keith I'd look at it this way... if a taxonomy confuses you and interferes with the way you do your work (ie makes you less effective) then probably one of...
Hi Patrick, Agreed, but did I write something that might make you think I wasn't considering the work of the intended audience? Actually, in all my years of...
Thanks, this looks quite promising. I have emailed the StatsCanada folks to see if the have a CSV version (or some sort of format that we can import into our...
No, I didn't think there was anything misleading in what you said, I was just trying to feel out the circumstances in which one could pass a negative judgment...
... Coming late to this: in some other fields, "FOD" is not desirable... (think Foreign Object Damage) aside from that, sounds good. I'll admit, several of the...
Actually, that sense of FOD does have some faint taxonomy resonances!! P Patrick Lambe weblog: www.greenchameleon.com website: www.straitsknowledge.com book:...
A quick note back to Seth, Donna is not a recruiter. It appears she was just letting the group know the job was out there and available (at least that is how I...
Yes, I know Donna is not, but the job is being handled by a recruiter and the contact information was the recruiter. The reason we have that policy is I...
[Apologies for any duplication.] Greetings, We're giving Taxonomy CoP List member a special discount to our new UIE Roadshow: Secrets Behind Designing Great...
Perhaps we need some other mechanism for posting specifically taxonomy-related jobs. Should we create a new Yahoo-based announcement-only group for taxonomy...
OK Seth. I was trying to be helpful to the group by letting them know about an opportunity that came my way. I understand the reasoning behind the list...
I understand and your argument makes sense. But I still feel that the list is for knowledge exchange rather than recruitment. You were not profiting. At the...
Hi Seth. I think we're all in basic agreement that we want everyone to know about these jobs when available, esp. with the unemployment figures that came out...
Yes Donna I couldn't agree more. ... From: TaxoCoP@yahoogroups.com [mailto:TaxoCoP@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of DonnaSlawsky Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009...
It would be nice to know things like what salary range taxonomist jobs are paying these days (especially in these rough economic times, where it seems every...
I believe that Donna and /or Heather will be starting a new list for this. I was going to send a survey to this list as to whether people would be interested...
Coincidentally, I got the following post from another list that I belong to. It deals with the same job posting issues that have come up recently on taxocop....
A new announcement-only list has been created: taxonomy-jobs http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/taxonomy-jobs It will be in newsletter format, which means...
I would be interested in such a list. ~Eileen Eileen Quam, M.L.S. │ Information Architect MN Office of Enterprise Technology eileen.quam at state.mn.us...
I have, in the past, found job postings for taxonomists on the DC-IA (information architecture) job postings. They have a web page and email announcements. ...
Hi Marijane, I've not used that specific tool, although I have used a different tool that provides similar status codes for the terms. You mention that any...
Hi Marijane, I agree it can be better to convert a term to a non-preferred, lead- in term to aid retrieval. I sparingly use a "not-valid" flag in Multites if I...
Now if a recruiter contacts you about a taxonomy-related job and you don't want to apply to it, pleased tell the recruiter to e-mail the job description...
