David, Margie Hlava's Taxomony Bootcamp presentation is available at http://www.accessinn.com/library/presentation.html along with others, including slides for...
I was looking for information related to David's request and came away from the presentations listed on Mary's link (below) with a few questions. I could start...
This might merit a new thread, but here is my take on your questions. Independent of the definitions of both "Enterprise" and "Taxonomy" I rarely work on...
... a requisite part of a taxonomy...is that true? I consider a controlled vocabulary to be just a set of terms that you have to pick from. "Yes" and "No" is a...
Hi all, Good comments, Bob. I've given a number of taxonomy presentations. I don't have one with the purposes/business cases available online, but I do have ...
John - I think Bob's reply is a good statement. I define controlled vocabulary as a list of terms (vocabulary) for which there are principles, rules, roles and...
Thanks Claude. It will be interesting to hear what they say. I have been joking about needing an ontology of everything but having to get someone else to build...
... I don't claim to be nearly as knowledgeable as Patrick, but I have found it useful to follow the definitions in Z39.19, in which a "controlled vocabulary"...
Thanks everyone for the very informative responses to my questions. Claude, I especially like your answer to the Enterprise Taxonomy question. John O' ... ...
Hello Everyone, I'd like to thank those who did reach out to me with suggestions, pointers, and powerpoints for an Executive Summary. I had wanted something...
Hi David, My only real disagreement with your slide presentation is the statement that Goodle is the biggest taxonomy ever compiled. Google is neither a ...
Heather, Absolutely right. I should have said the old Yahoo, where every site was placed in a category and you navigated the taxonomy to find them. Funny, I...
Nice presentation David. Taxonomies can have lots of different payoffs in different contexts which is probably why you couldn't find an "off the shelf" one. It...
David, Nice work. Apart from the wisdom of referring to Yahoo, the only thing to suggest is that "Find & Act" might belong under the "Controlled Vocabulary is...
Very nice summary. Not to kick a dead horse but google used to feature an odp/dmoz inspired directory before they dropped it a few years back and odp I believe...
They dropped it last year with very little warning at the same time they dropped FastFlip and a lot of other projects from Google Labs. The way back machine...
Claude, ... The question asked whether it was possible to have more than one enterprise taxonomy. And the answer is "yes". Whether its desirable is another...
Maybe we should move this off to another tread, but before we do I would like to respond to Matt... Part of the reason I asked the question is to get a sense...
I didn't see this come up as a post as it usually does so right away...apologies in advance if it ends up a double. Maybe we should move this off to another...
John, I'm not really interested in this discussion if: - It turns into you extolling your Q6 framework as the answer to every taxonomy issue. For the...
Estimados compañeros: La Fundacion Ciencias de la Documentacion notifica que se encuentra abierto el plazo de inscripcion para el curso "Recuperacion de...
I am working on a new taxonomy initiative lately, and we have some people weighing in with different ideas about how to approach our global enterprise taxonomy...
... An excellent rationale! A nice thing about the W3C SKOS standard is that the use of URIs as identifiers behind the preferred terms lets you define...
Dave, Â That's a very valid question and a lot of it depends on the drivers behind the taxonomy project. Patrick Lambe has written about this in "Organising...
Thanks Matt. As a matter of fact, in our kick off meeting today, our team leader used the same phrasing: "boiling the ocean", vs. getting quicker results and ...
Hi all, I have a very simple question: our customer needs a taxonomy that should be implemented on SharePoint 2010 and also be searchable via FAST for...
Hey thanks a lot for that explanation, Bob! So using the W3C SKOS standards which utilizes the URI's behind the preferred terms, assures us that the taxonomy...
Antonio, Â When you say 800 items - what you mean? What makes up the 800? Can you give examples? Do they all refer to the same thing (e.g. products) or do...
Hi Matt, so 800 metadata items, prodcuts (about 200) material (about 100) the rest are products and material features, and also process metadata, most related...
