We do some of what you are talking about in that we created our taxonomy site to manage our metadata, but it soon became much more than that. As we captured...
There is (I think) a general assumption that all terms in a thesaurus should be neatly grouped under, say, 20 top terms. In practice, it is often difficult to...
Hi Glenda, Well, that's one of the main differences between a taxonomy and a thesaurus. A taxonomy is structured in hierarchies, not permitting orphan terms. A...
... That reminds me of an old version of the Autonomy auto-categorizer, which was so obsessed with the right number of nodes and branches that they'd move...
